Support PFS

Drawing on a rich tradition of Quaker values and practices, Princeton Friends School is committed to creating a diverse, vibrant learning community in which young people engage their natural curiosity; discover and express their individual voices and gifts; acquire intellectual, physical, artistic, and life skills; and develop a sense of responsibility for themselves and others.

Princeton Friends both prepares students for the world that is and models possibilities for the society that these young people will one day help to create.

There are three principles we are committed to living every day at Princeton Friends School:

  • Respect for All. We honor the unique gifts of every individual as we celebrate the diversity of human experience.
  • Lifelong Learning. Intellectual growth and discovery are the work of a lifetime.
  • Responsibility in the World. We are committed to living in harmony with the Quaker testimonies of simplicity, peace, integrity,
    community, equality, and stewardship.

Why your gift matters

Tuition covers only part of the actual cost of a PFS education. Philanthropic support bridges the gap—keeping our community accessible and vibrant, today and for the future.

Your gift fuels:

  • Equity & access: need-based tuition assistance so children from many backgrounds can thrive here.
  • Inspired teaching: faculty professional learning aligned with progressive practice and Quaker values.
  • Outdoor education: woods, stream, trails, fields, and garden learning—year-round, in all weather.
  • Arts & performance: theatre, storytelling, poetry, music, and fine arts.
  • Wellness & SEL: counseling, restorative practices, and SEL classes.
  • Athletics & movement: cross country, physical education, and our grades 4–8 bicycle program.
  • Signature experiences: Princeton-Blairstown community camping trip, Central Study and minimester, service learning days, eighth grade Island School capstone science trip, high school readiness, and so much more.
Ways to Give
  • Give now (one-time or monthly): consistent support our students can count on.
  • Matching gifts: many employers match donations—double (or triple) your impact by checking with HR.
  • Gifts of stock or via DAF: potential tax advantages while advancing our mission.
  • Tribute & memorial gifts: honor a teacher, family member, or alum.
  • Planned/legacy giving: include PFS in your will or beneficiary designations to sustain the school long-term.
  • In-kind & volunteer support: share expertise, sponsor events, or underwrite program needs.

Recognition, simplicity, and choice

In the spirit of Quaker simplicity, we thank all donors with deep gratitude; if you prefer anonymity, we honor that. You may make an unrestricted gift to meet the school’s most pressing needs or designate to a specific program.
