Peddie is an incredible place to attend high school. Although the academics are very challenging, they pushed me to become the best student I can be and have provided a strong foundation for college preparedness. The school offers exceptional resources and did not let financial barriers stand in my way. I would love to see Peddie continue to grow as an athletic powerhouse by investing more resources into attracting talented athletes.

The Teachers and Administrators were incredibly supportive of every student in all aspects of their lives. It truly was a "family". We were encouraged to take risks in projects, papers and after s...

Extremely academic-intense school; wonderful community of kids, teachers and coaches. I get a great feeling whenever I am on campus, I wish I could go to high school again and go to Peddie School.
