I want to pursue physics for the sake of learning more about our universe. That’s the biggest thing from Princeton Friends that sticks with me. We were learning to love learning, and I’ve carried that with me to this day.

Dr. Nikki Pallat, Class of 2013

PFS really does a great job of cultivating people who can work together rather than fight against each other. Those skills stay with you. They’re what make you successful—not just in work, but in life. Jordan Dunbar, Esq. '11, Corporate Attorney

At Princeton Friends, the idea that people can play and discover in school was revelatory—I didn’t get back to that until my second year in graduate school. Dr. Joshua Peek '93, Astrophysicist

Because of Princeton Friends, I was in the mindset of not worrying about grades, and it created a lot less pressure on me than what I saw in my high school peers. I was able to focus on learning and because I wanted to learn, not because of external pressure. -Mariana Lee '22, Student at Princeton Day School

I'm really grateful for PFS. It wasn’t just a school to me—it was a community that shaped the way I see the world and my place in it. I learned to love learning, to connect deeply with others, and to stand up for what’s right. Ezra Love '19, Student at Hamshire College
