As an artist, Royal believes creativity deserves to be protected.

Wanting to better understand how social media influences teen mental health, Atticus turned his curiosity into meaningful action.

Through his Grade 6 Exhibition, Atticus researched the effects of social media on young people and organized a fundraiser benefiting Oaks Integrated Care, an accredited nonprofit providing behavioral health and social services throughout New Jersey. By selling stickers, fidgets, and other therapeutic items, he raised more than $600 to support the organization's work while encouraging others to prioritize balance, self-care, and mental well-being.

Lily's curiosity about the natural world led her to explore one of its most fascinating and often overlooked organisms: mushrooms. πŸ„

For her Grade 6 Exhibition, she researched why mushrooms are essential to healthy ecosystems, what makes them unique, and why some species are endangered. Through her project, Lily invited others to discover the incredible role fungi play in sustaining life on Earth.

πŸŽ“ Grade 6 Exhibition Spotlight - Tegyu

For his Exhibition project, Tegyu explored the impact of artificial intelligence on students and the importance of using AI responsibly.

Concerned about how increasing reliance on AI could affect students' critical thinking and creativity, Tegyu researched ways technology can be used as a learning tool without replacing independent thought. As his action, he developed a school-wide AI policy proposal and presented it to our Head of School, Ms. Clark, encouraging thoughtful guidelines for AI use within the PJS community.

Tegyu's project reminds us that innovation is most powerful when paired with responsibility, reflection, and a commitment to lifelong learning.

🎭✨ Creativity took center stage at PJS's Curiosity Camp last session!

Led by Mrs. Sheppard, students in Grades 1–6 immersed themselves in every aspect of theater as they brought Fractured Fables to life. More than just performers, the campers became playwrights, set designers, and creative collaborators. They selected the fables they wanted to tell, co-wrote many of the scenes, designed and built the set, and developed the characters that took the stage.

Throughout the week, campers encouraged one another, practiced giving thoughtful, constructive feedback, and reflected on their own performances, all while working hard to create something they were proud to share. The result was a memorable performance that celebrated not only their talents, but also their creativity, teamwork, and growth.

Bravo to our incredible campers for an unforgettable 2 weeks! πŸ‘πŸŽ¬

Confidence takes root early at Princeton Junior School!

As they prepared for their Moving Up Ceremony, our Reggio and Preschool students took the stage to rehearse their final original play, What Makes My Heart Happy. Each child had the opportunity to share with the audience what matters most to them and the experiences that bring them joy.

Through public speaking and performance opportunities like these, our youngest learners build confidence, self-awareness, communication skills, and teamwork. We are incredibly proud of all they have accomplished this year and can't wait to see what comes next.

Congratulations to our Early Childhood students on this special milestone! ❀️

For his Exhibition project, Detron explored the importance of treating animals with kindness and educating pet owners about responsible care.

Inspired by his love for animals, Detron researched the causes and impacts of pet mistreatment and turned his learning into action by organizing a donation drive for EASEL Animal Rescue League in Ewing. Thanks to his dedication, he delivered a carload of pet food, blankets, toys, and other essential supplies, while also inspiring additional support through mailed food donations and monetary contributions collected via a QR code he created.

Detron's project is a wonderful example of how compassion can inspire meaningful action and make a difference for animals in need.

🏰✨ From castles and skyscrapers to simple machines, our youngest campers are putting their imaginations to work during REIMAGINE Structures at Princeton Junior School's Summer Camp!

Designed for children ages 2.5–5, the first session of camp invited students to become architects, engineers, and creators as they explore STEAM through hands-on building challenges using everyday materials like cardboard, straws, and wooden blocks. Along the way, campers discover famous architecture, experiment with the design process, and develop creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving skills through play.

Each day is thoughtfully balanced with outdoor play, stories, special activities, creative exploration, snack and lunch, rest time, and plenty of opportunities to make new friends, proving that summer learning can be just as joyful as it is inspiring. πŸ’™
