Your child can go anywhere from Peck

The best preparation for all their tomorrows is the right school for them today.

Choosing a K-8 school offers your child a specialized focus on their unique developmental needs. At Peck, students learn and thrive in an environment that allows them to grow at their own pace and experience a smooth transition into adolescence. With the foundation provided at Peck, our graduates can confidently take the next step in their educational journeys.

Secondary School Counseling

Your child will embark on a journey of self-discovery guided by our expert Director of Secondary School Counseling, Christine Williams. Together we will find a school that best suits your child's interests, talents, and aspirations.

Beginning in seventh grade, your child will begin the reflective process of identifying what qualities they want in a secondary school, learn how to research and evaluate schools, and write effective admissions essays. This work continues into eighth grade with mock interviews and school visit preparation. This carefully constructed process enables our students to have fulfilling choices for their futures.
