The Pingry School
The Pingry School's Mission Statement, Philosophy, and Diversity Statement:
Founded in 1861, The Pingry School is an independent, co-educational, college preparatory day school for students in kindergarten through the twelfth grade. Situated on two spacious campuses in Martinsville and Short Hills, New Jersey, the school draws students of varied talents and diverse backgrounds from many communities in the central New Jersey region.
Mission Statement:
The mission of The Pingry School is to foster in students a lifelong commitment to intellectual exploration, individual growth, and social responsibility by inspiring and supporting them to strive for academic and personal excellence within an ethical framework that places the highest value on honor and respect for others.
Philosophy:
Pingry promotes excellence at all levels of school life. Students participate in a demanding college preparatory program, complemented by extensive cocurricular opportunities. The total Pingry experience encourages students to reach their fullest intellectual, moral, aesthetic, creative, and physical potential. Implicit in this challenge is the School's belief that, as students mature, they should assume an increasing responsibility in shaping their own educational experiences. Accordingly, they develop the initiative, self-reliance, and independence essential for reaching their full potential and for making the most of their years at Pingry and beyond.
The Pingry experience is based on mutual respect and personal integrity. All members of the community are expected to honor the rights of others, to conduct themselves at all times in a moral and decent manner, and to see this responsibility as an integral part of their lives at Pingry and as citizens of the larger community of the world. The foundation of this belief is Pingry's Honor Code, which, since 1926, has set the ethical standard that underlies every dimension of school life.
Pingry encourages close personal relationships among all its members, in order to nurture and guide its students. These relationships create an atmosphere of trust and support in which students see independence, initiative, and imagination as the means to pursue self-discovery, develop qualities of leadership, and affirm a sense of self-worth. Imbued with these values, students give freely of their time and talents, mindful of how these contributions of individuals enhance the quality of school life for the entire community.
Pingry is a diverse community joined by a single vision. All members, including trustees, administration, faculty, staff, students, parents, and alumni, contribute to the School in many different ways but share a unified and consistent commitment to Pingry's mission. The core of this commitment, and the link between Pingry's past and future, is John Pingry's founding motto: "Greatest respect is due students."
Diversity Statement:
The Pingry School is committed to sustaining a welcoming and supportive environment for all children and families in its community and those interested in joining the Pingry family. Pingry values and celebrates ethnic, racial, religious, and socioeconomic diversity. Pingry strives to promote multicultural inclusion through its curriculum, programming, and outreach efforts to all students, faculty, and staff who are dedicated to meeting the challenges and enjoying the opportunities Pingry has to offer.
