Princeton Day School has been a life changing experience for our family. My daughter started in public high school and moved to PDS in 10th grade. The teachers at PDS are caring and the class size is small so she has a relationship with her teachers. PDS creates a real learning environment for the children. The schedule allows for a significant portion of homework to be done during school and teachers are available for assistance during the day. PDS teaches kids to be self sufficient and is preparing them for college and life. I wish we moved into the school sooner.

We love PDS because they completely know our two daughters. They provide the energy and passion that make our kids love learning. When individual attention is needed, it is always provided.

PDS remains nationally known and connected to top universities as shown by their college matriculation. As reflected in the rest of the population it is true that recruited athletes are a huge part of college early decision admits. Many colleges build 50 percent of their class via ED. The academic bar is lower for top athletes and you can get recruited in your junior year or by December senior year. You can sit back and watch others work on their common app and supplements while you toss a ball around the field with fellow sports recruits.

We came to PDS about a year and half back when my daughter joined lower school. And our experience has been nothing but exceptional.
