Why Princeton?
At Princeton Public Schools we value innovative instruction to prepare our students to succeed in an ever-changing world. We prioritize student learning, a positive school climate and culture, and offer robust support to meet the needs of all students.
Our proven programming starts with our parent-aware rated Hand-in-Hand Preschool. Our elementary students are versed in "Tiger Pride" and have the opportunity to begin Spanish Immersion in grades K-1 through middle school. At the middle and high schools, students develop the Habits of a Tiger and are prepared for the world through our Career Academies.
