Princeton Friends School

Princeton Friends School (PFS) is a PreK-8 independent progressive Quaker school nestled in a beautiful, wooded campus just minutes from downtown Princeton, New Jersey. Grounded in the Quaker values of simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship, PFS fosters an educational experience that nurtures the whole child, emphasizing not just academic achievement but also social and emotional growth, compassion, and a sense of responsibility to others. At PFS, we believe learning is a journey of curiosity and connection. We value hands-on, experiential learning that encourages students to explore, ask questions, and seek understanding. From early science investigations along Stony Brook to thoughtful classroom discussions on historical events, PFS students engage in collaborative, inquiry-based activities that inspire them to think deeply and independently. Our graduates leave PFS prepared not just for high school but for the world beyond, equipped with strong academic foundations, a commitment to social justice, and the skills to navigate an ever-changing landscape with confidence and compassion. Join us at Princeton Friends School, where education is a partnership in growth, rooted in values and dedicated to nurturing capable, curious, and caring individuals.
