Your Child Deserves One of the Best Private Schools in the Princeton, NJ, Area.

Our private elementary school graduates are highly coveted by other schools in Mercer County.

 

Most children's innate abilities to love learning and develop both basic skills and core values begin to develop when they are around two years old.

Nurture their openness and wonderment around that time, and watch these children thrive - with a lifelong passion to explore, discover and achieve!

That is why Princeton Junior School offers your child one of the best private preschools in Mercer County, where early childhood is celebrated, honored, and protected. Our toddler "students" enjoy a myriad of safe, age-appropriate educational and enriching activities, overseen by an exceptional team of teachers and staff.

Upon reaching Kindergarten age, our nursery school alumni are already primed for one of the area's truly singular private elementary schools.

The Princeton Junior School K-5 curriculum develops in each child a profound appreciation for literature, history, mathematics, science, writing, foreign language, the arts, and technology.

PJS students learn to harness key connections and become independent thinkers (yes, we truly are an "independent school.") As the parent of a PJS student recently expressed, "Not only do the children at PJS learn a subject, they live it." Upon graduating from Grade 5, your child will be fully prepared to move on as a confident, caring, and responsible young citizen. It is by design that Princeton Junior School graduates are highly sought after by neighboring schools.

Both of our terrific programs are led a group of exceptional faculty who care deeply about education and the children they teach. Dedicated, experienced, and inspiring, they help bring out the special gifts of each child...every single day. It is an amazing sight to see!

So please visit our historic, beautiful Princeton Junior School campus. It has been painstakingly designed to be a living classroom and sanctuary for inquiring minds to become good stewards of the world around them.

Whether in the classroom, on the playing fields, or in the McIntyre Commons (our village square), each child's day is built around an atmosphere of trust and respect for one another. Described as "a miniature United Nations," Princeton Junior School boasts a culturally diverse population that allows each child the opportunity to appreciate and celebrate our differences. It is just one example of the magic you can find in our small school.

I invite you to spend some time with us  and witness firsthand the many wonders of Princeton Junior School - truly one of the best private schools in the Princeton, NJ, area!

PJS Staff and Parent
“One of my favorite times of the day is dismissal…listening to the children laughing or discussing their day...There is just such a warm welcoming feeling that comes over me every time I walk through the front door.”
Parent of Alumna and
Grade I Student
“I loved learning about the rainforest (my favorite animals were the Toucan and the Harpee Eagle) and studying about the life of Benjamin Franklin and then telling the K Class about him.”
Grade II Student
At PJS…“I’ve learned to accept everybody for who they are and not to judge people just for what they like or what they do.”
Grade V Student
“PJS teachers have the time, inclination and encouragement to tailor their approach to each child. The work is demanding, but creative….The strong emphasis on helping children to speak up and present their ideas, the creative aspects and the solid preparation for the next step are hugely important.”
