Nestled in the woods of the historic Stony Brook Meeting House, our school is a place where childhood is cherished, curiosity is celebrated, and community is cultivated with care.

We are a small progressive school that educates children from preschool through 8th grade. Here, every student is known, seen, and valued for who they are. Our Quaker foundation calls us to uplift each person’s inner light, and to practice simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship in all that we do. |
You’ll find that Princeton Friends defines academic excellence, providing an unparalleled learning community where students find a place of belonging as they enage with peers and content, building the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that prepare them for high school and for life. Learning across our campus on a given day might look like students collaborating on hands-on science investigations in the stream, dancing together each week in all-school dancing, riding bikes through our trails, writing and performing original poetry, and engaging in real-world problem-solving with heart and purpose.
We believe education should inspire both intellect and spirit, equipping young people to grow into confident, kind, and courageous changemakers.
As a school community, we listen deeply: to each other, to the natural world around us, and to the evolving needs of our students. Whether gathered in silent worship, solving a math challenge, or tending our garden, our students learn to ask big questions, think critically, and act with compassion.
At Princeton Friends, school feels like an extension of home. Our close-knit community includes teachers who are trusted guides, families who are true partners, and students who are empowered to lead with empathy and curiosity.
We invite you to visit, walk our trails, meet our community, and discover the difference a Princeton Friends School education can make.
