What is one of the best things about PDS? Your child can attend all the way up through high school! No SSAT needed and no competition to be accepted at an independent school after 5th or 8th grade. With applications way up this year you can happily "cruise" into PDS 9th grade without an admissions nightmare like other parents. The Princeton are is highly competitive for high school. PDS is a wonderful school with outstanding academics, a beautiful new art wing including architecture, dedicated STEM rooms, outstanding music program, and a spectacular athletic program and facility. The school has grown the school thoughtfully. Teachers all seem very warm and truly knowledgeable about their subjects and their students. Students are welcoming. College matriculation is outstanding with at least four college counselors to help children.
VERY safe during the pandemic. A parent who is an epidemiologist also advised PDS leadership. Still had rigorous program. Ivy league admissions, strong math and STEM for all grades and your child will emerge as an excellent writer. The graduating class is just the right size especially coming from a small private middle school. Day school that meets the needs of each student and not a preference for boarding athletes. A very nurturing teaching staff that considers character important along with academic rigor. Students are nice and welcoming to new students and rising PDS peers alike. Opportunities abound from special speakers to projects with NASA scientists via REX. Choose your sport, art or music group. It's all at PDS and you will be encouraged to grow. Top tier college matriculation. The buildings and classrooms are new and beautiful with an amazing athletic center and theatres. Go for a tour and see firsthand and meet some stellar students and staff!
A great high school experience! Nice friends, challenging classes, caring teachers and lots of clubs that are well run and funded. Sports are both JV and Varsity and have experienced coaches if you are shooting for Div I. Ivy league is definitely achievable from PDS. This has been a wonderful school and will be missed when we move on. It's nice that all of the students are day students because at other school the boarders seem to get preferential treatment for some activities. PDS!
