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.

It allows for a nurturing environment where children feel challenged, and will challenge themselves, all within a belief that learning is best when it is a joyful process. 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. Peck students are known for their academic strengths, athletic achievements, artistic expression, leadership skills, and community service, and the new Head will be responsible for ensuring students continue to thrive and succeed across all areas.
