We are a rigorous, caring, and authentic learning community in which students develop the dispositions and habits of mind to thrive in today's world. I marvel at our students, alumni, and faculty, in all their variety, with all their incredible talents, their capacity for hard work, their concern for others, their ability to think flexibly and communicate with precision, their imagination and creativity, their passion, and their persistence.

Close student-teacher relationships and a partnership with families are essential to us as we strive to instill in our students the values of integrity, compassion, self-esteem, and commitment to one another and the world at large. The impressive legacy of our School is borne out of the remarkable accomplishments among Pingree alumni. Our graduates serve others, and they are transforming their communities all over the world.
