Princeton Junior School

What a day at the PJS Picnic! ⚽🌎

Congratulations to all of our students who participated in the First-Ever PJS World Cup Tournament. Over the past several weeks, students represented Spanish-speaking countries while demonstrating teamwork, sportsmanship, school spirit, and cultural appreciation both on and off the field.

A special congratulations to our champions: Argentina for the Lower School and Paraguay for the Upper School! We are incredibly proud of every student who participated and helped make our first-ever World Cup Tournament a fun and meaningful celebration of learning, community, and culture.

A heartfelt thank you to Señora Gaby and Coach Lucas for leading this wonderful effort and creating such an exciting experience for our students. 🇦🇷🏆 🇵🇾

On Saturday, PJS students had the exciting opportunity to showcase their artwork at the Princeton University Art Museum. Experiences like these are one of the things that make our Studio Art program so special. By exhibiting their work in community spaces beyond our campus, students gain confidence, take pride in their accomplishments, and see that their creativity has a place in the wider world. This event was made possible through the Olivia & Leslie Foundation Art + Math program. See link in bio to learn more about this innovative program.

Our Sixth Grade students celebrated their upcoming graduation with a surprise trip to Trenton Thunder Opening Night. The energy was high, the Thunder won 6–1, and everyone had a fantastic time!

What a fun way to kick off graduation season. 🎉💙

Thank you to Central Jersey for featuring Princeton Junior School in its recent article, “Planting Seeds of Peace.”

We are grateful to have been part of an event that encouraged our students to reflect on the importance of peace, kindness, and global citizenship—values that are at the heart of a Princeton Junior School education.

Way to go PJS!

From imagination to blueprint 🌳✨

Our Kindergarten and Grade 5 students had an inspiring visit with Amy Sperow from Treetop Builders as part of the exciting PJS treehouse project! Students proudly shared their thoughtful treehouse designs and models, and Amy was impressed by the creativity, problem-solving, and innovative features the students incorporated, many of which may become part of the real treehouse.

During the site visit, Amy shared her expertise, introduced students to some of her cool building tools, and showed them the location where the treehouse will likely take shape. Students asked wonderful questions and gained a firsthand look at how ideas move from concept to construction.

Next up: Amy will return with her first draft blueprint based on conversations with students, teachers, and staff. Stay tuned as this incredible collaborative project continues to grow! 🌿🛠️

Moving Up Day was full of excitement and curiosity! ✨

This week, students had the opportunity to visit next year’s classroom, visit with their future teachers, and begin imagining all the learning and growth ahead. One of the most special parts of the day was seeing students who are looping within the suites step into mentor roles, sharing advice, answering questions, and helping younger students feel confident and excited for what’s to come. 💛

Our rising Grade 3 students also shared what they’re most looking forward to next year, and their enthusiasm made one thing clear — the excitement for the year ahead is already building at PJS!
