Through a commitment to character formation and a rigorous and inspirational academic program, The Peck School strives to build in each student the capacity for disciplined learning and consideration of others. With dedicated faculty and families, we prepare our students to succeed in secondary school and to lead healthy, productive, and principled lives.

Peck melds a proven curriculum with modern methods—and students discover the pure delight of creative thinking and active learning by honoring timeless traditions and supporting timely transformation.

Children at Peck will know and will be known as they develop into confident learners and leaders as they move through the Peck experience. The school is seeking a Head of the Upper School to lead students and faculty in grades 5-8.

  • Corporate Partnership Program
    Dear Friend: Educational inequality is a national issue, especially in underrepresented communities. Young individuals who, simply by chance, have been born into low-income zip codes do not, and most likely will never, have the same educational and career opportunities as their more privileged peers. This disproportionate access to quality education is an injustice to young students, and its long-term effects negatively impact communities for decades, or even generations to come. We cannot idly stand by while the trajectory of a person’s life is determined by chance. For nearly three decades, SEEDS has worked to close this gap and change the lives of motivated, high- achieving students from low-income households in New Jersey through one thing: ACCESS. SEEDS has delivered life-changing educational opportunities to more than 3,000 students and counting, ensuring they have the knowledge, skills, access, and support needed to thrive at the nation’s finest educational institutions. SEEDS Scholars graduate at rates exceeding those of the wealthiest communities and far exceeding that of their peers. This level of sustained achievement requires a community committed to continuing and advancing this cause. We require YOUR help. SEEDS Corporate Partners play a vital role in reducing the educational disparity experienced by students of lower socioeconomic statuses. Therefore, I am proud to share that SEEDS now offers Corporate Partnership Packages, allowing companies such as yours to not only support the education of promising students, but to truly change the course of their lives. Enclosed for your review is our partner prospectus, inclusive of customizable opportunities, an overview of SEEDS programs, and student statistics.

NA students are academically successful, not because they’re pressured but because they’re stretched. As students navigate their educational journey, Newark Academy provides the roadside assistance they need. Thought becomes their vehicle, hard work their fuel, greater understanding their destination, and stress a hitchhiker best left by the side of the road.
