Once a week, students find a “home base” in an Advisory group of approximately 10 students overseen by a designated advisor who is a faculty member at their grade level. This designated time creates a space for students to build deep and meaningful connections with peers int heir advisory group and with their advisor. 

Lunchtime at Peck isn't just for eating—it's an opportunity for everyone to come together, chat, and learn more about one another outside of the classroom setting. For more than three decades, our Family Dining tradition has played a pivotal role in fostering a sense of unity and connectedness across our community. This cherished practice allows students and faculty from different grades and homerooms to build deeper relationships while sharing a meal.

Across all grade levels, students begin their day with a morning meeting. This practice fosters a sense of community and belonging within homerooms and grades and sets the tone for the day.

Each week, the entire Peck community gathers for an All-School Assembly. These regular community gatherings provide an opportunity for student performances, special presentations, and fun activities.

One of the most iconic elements of childhood is recess. We honor childhood by prioritizing movement and play through recess twice a day in Lower School and once a day in Upper School.
