childhood honored
The Peck School preserves the simple joys of childhood—and creates an environment where your child can not only thrive academically, but can also be a child just a little longer.
Why K-8? Our kindergarten through eighth-grade program helps kids live and learn in the moment without the looming distractions or social uncertainty that high school brings. We cater to young minds, fostering a smooth transition to adolescence with a specialized focus and a joyful environment.
A Bright Future After Peck
At Peck, your child will embark on a journey of self-discovery guided by our expert Director of Secondary School Counseling. Together we will find a school that best suits your child’s unique interests, talents, and aspirations.
After high school, our graduates attend nationally-recognized colleges and universities, launch rewarding and meaningful careers, and ultimately lead deeply fulfilled, purpose driven, consequential lives.
The best preparation for tomorrow is the right school today.
What attracted us to Peck was the Upper School curriculum and how it is intentionally designed around building the specific skills that are critical to develop—both from an academic and character perspective—in preparation for secondary school.

One of the most important steps parents can undertake in investigating private school is to visit a school’s campus. A visit can take many forms: from an open house, to an information session, to an activity-based offering, to a private tour. Each type of visit will offer a distinct opportunity to assess the mission and culture of the school.
