We make a better world
Creating community
When we come together

Incredible people from all around the world find community here at Peddie. We’re proud to be a school where students can expand their comfort zones, chart their own course and become good citizens and bold individuals.

Whether you’re at the podium at our twice-weekly chapel meeting, saving baby turtles with the Terrapin Club, hopping on the Culture Bus to take in a Broadway show or grabbing a snack at the Grille with friends, you’ll find that Peddie is a place that helps you soar to new heights.
