The Upper School

The Upper School The Upper School experience at Pingry is a time dedicated to developing independent thinkers, collaborative workers, and honorable, compassionate citizens.

Learning is hands-on and experiential — in the classroom, laboratory, and art studio; around the campus trails and campsite; and on the stages and fields. Learning also happens through individual research, participation in group discussions, and one-on-one faculty conferences that encourage critical thinking and innovative problem solving within a close-knit community.

At Pingry, students enjoy a rich academic and social life filled with a host of co- and extracurricular activities, from athletics to the arts, Global Programs, community service, leadership experiences, and much, much more.

Poised on the brink of great opportunity and adventure, Upper Schoolers engage in a college preparatory curriculum that draws on both a diverse array of unique course selections and more traditional pedagogy. In doing so, we build on students’ strengths and test the areas that most challenge them, laying the groundwork for an imaginative and intellectually vibrant life that will sustain them in college and beyond.
