The Princeton Friends School admission process is designed to allow us to get to know your family and assess how best we can partner in the growth of your children. Our process requires the applying family to complete:

  • An online application
  • Submit two (2) teacher recommendations (1st-8th grade applicants)
  • B-School Discovery Day (PreK, Kindergarten, and 1st grade applicants)
  • Visit Day (2nd-8th grade applicants)
  • Official Transcripts
  • Family Follow-up Session

 

Rolling Admission Open! 

 

Princeton Friends School’s first two rounds of admissions have now closed and we are accepting applications on a rolling basis as space allows in select grades. Financial aid will be considered during rolling admissions as available, with priority given to families who applied during the first two rounds.

We encourage interested families to email us at admissions@princetonfriends.org to learn more or to schedule a visit. We look forward to welcoming you to our community!

 

 

SUBMIT AN APPLICATION

How to Apply

Begin by going to the online application. You will be asked to create an account for your family that will allow you to submit a separate application for each child. As you proceed through your application, your progress will be noted on your profile.

If you are applying for a seat in the 6th, 7th, or 8th grade and have an existing Standard Application Online (SAO), you can submit your application to PFS using our school code: 3175. PFS has no preference between our own application and the SAO application. 

Applications are now being considered on a rolling basis as space allows in each grade.

Please note that for families applying for Pre-K, your child must be 3.5 years old by September 1 of the year they plan to enroll and able to independently use the bathroom.

 

Mid-Year Transfers

Princeton Friends School continually reviews, accepts, and enrolls new families throughout the academic year using the PFS application. Mid-year transfers for Pre-K, Kindergarten, or 8th grade are based on the needs and makeup of that current grade level.

ADMISSIONS FAQ

When is the application deadline?

Our first round of admission closed on January 17th, 2025. Applications received after January 17th will be processed on a rolling basis and as space allows in each grade level. 

What happens at a school visit day?

Families applying for PreK, Kindergarten, and 1st grade will be invited to a Discovery Day when students will get the opportunity to spend an hour in the classroom to meet teachers, participate in activities, and interact with other students. 

Families applying for 2nd-8th grade will come for a Visit Day when their child will be paired with a student in their current grade, and they will experience a full day of school at PFS. 

Visits are scheduled after the application packet is completed and submitted, and full information will be provided by your admissions representative. 
 

What is a Family Follow-up Session?

As part of our commitment to creating a thoughtful, supportive admissions experience, we invite every family to take part in a Family Follow-up Session with our Director of Admission & Financial Aid.

This conversation usually takes place during or shortly after your child’s Discovery or Visit Day—and always before your application is complete. Whether in person or virtual, it’s a chance for us to connect more personally, answer any lingering questions, and ensure you feel seen and supported in this process.

Just as we’re eager for you to get to know Princeton Friends School, we also look forward to getting to know your family and hearing more about what matters most to you in your child’s education.

When and how will I be notified about admissions decisions?

We are currently on a rolling admissions process, and applicants will be notified approximately 2 weeks from the time their application is considered complete, including your Discovery or Visit Day, follow-up session, and a completed online application with letters of recommendation and transcripts (first grade and up).
