"Pingry's drama program feels a lot like a conservatory program. The trajectory you take over four years is unparalleled. . . I'm so grateful to have experienced it."Katharine Matthias '17

Pingry Pride
“I've never been part of something where I've been so close to everyone on the team . . . Pingry football has given me the opportunity to adjust to high school life and be a part of something bigger than myself.” —Nate Hefner ’19
Teaching & Learning
A Pingry Education
"Pingry provides not only an education—any school can do that—but also a space for teaching students to be stewards of that education. It's not just 'Here are the tools to succeed in the world,' but also 'How are you going to brandish those tools to better your community?'" —Mike Coakley, Middle School teacher

Proud to be Pingry

“I didn't realize such a research-based class was even possible in high school. I interviewed at other schools and they didn't have anything like this, or the resources to support it.”—Morgan D'Ausilio, Upper School science teacher

Summer Reading

Each year we ask our students to continue their learning through the summer. Acquiring knowledge, exercising intellectual curiosity, and reading for aesthetic pleasure are activities that should not cease in the summer months. Consequently, Pingry provides a summer reading list for all students. Families can find the reading for each grade level here!
