New School for Music Study

This balanced approach results in independent learners who play confidently and expressively.

Our faculty are highly-educated, experienced pianists with a passion for teaching.

Each year, we present a Faculty Recital Series. The collaborative spirit among our faculty is part of what makes NSMS a vibrant learning community for teachers and students alike. We presented “A Concert of Hope” online in April, and replay is available on our website. It includes a video of us playing Bach’s Prelude in C from our homes.

Since the start of the pandemic, NSMS has transitioned to online instruction, and our students have continued progressing steadily.

We recently presented six virtual student recitals, demonstrating the success of our online instruction.

We invite you to attend our virtual open house on Tuesday, June 16, from 6:30-7:30 p.m. on Zoom.

Princeton Friends School

Princeton Friends School is a learning community rooted in kindness, respect, and service. Every day, our pre-school to eighth-grade students are engaged in hands- on, child- centered education that builds skills, deepens knowledge, and inspires creative, critical, and independent thinking. In our classrooms and gathering places, our woods and playgrounds, even our remote learning spaces, our students and teachers collaborate in an environment of discovery and intellectual vigor.

Princeton Friends School offers an exceptional, forward-thinking curriculum and a welcoming, diverse com mu nit y where ever y child is known. The Quaker values of peace, social justice, and reflection infuse all we do.

Our days are filled with moments that give PFS its essential character: discoveries that mark our creative and expansive mathematics program and our place-based science classes; mixed-grade literature classes that fuel passions for r e a d i n g, t h ou g ht f u l analysis, and deep thinking within a culture of shared engagement; Mandarin and Spanish classes starting in pre-school; vibrant learning environment where students are assessed not by standardized tests but by personal feedback based on

their abilities and progress; community service projects that teach about social justice and build character; and deep, trusting relationships between teachers and students as we learn, discover, and grow together.

Princeton Speech-Language & Learning Center

In our fast-paced world, lis ten i ng, le ar n i ng, a nd speaking skills are essential.

Parents turn to Princeton Speech-Language & Learning Center (PSLLC) because research has shown that effective speech, language, social communication therapy, executive function strategies, and social, emotional, and behavioral therapies at the right time can greatly improve a child’s chances of success in school and in life.

Founded in 1989, PSLLC is Central New Jersey’s leading provider of services that help our clients improve their ability to learn, communicate, and interact with their peers. We specialize in comprehensive speechlanguage and psychoeducational evaluations as well as social learning groups, psycho-therapy, executive function therapy, and individual /g roup speech -lang uage therapy. Our staff includes certified speech-language pathologists, a clinical psychologist, and a learning consultant, all of whom are highly trained with advanced or terminal degrees and hold NJ licenses. They are trained in the most upto-date therapy approaches and educational best practices.

Realizing that “one therapy

approach doesn’t fit all,” we tailor our therapies to help each individual overcome his or her challenges. We are proud to offer all of these services remotely to stay within the CDC’s guidelines of distance learning as we settle into our new normal.

We at PSLLC are committed to helping families get through the new set of circumstances we are now facing, and we look forward to the day when our office doors are once again open.

Until that time, we are ready to support your academic, sp e e ch - la ng uage, s o cia l communication, and psychological needs.
