Princeton Friends School: Where Curiosity Goes to School

At Princeton Friends School, curiosity is the engine that drives learning.

The House On Cherry Hill Road Tells Its Stories . . . Chapter 1

One Singular Sensation

Tap, tap, tap. “Okay, people, pay attention,” the choreographer shouts over the pounding piano, “…again, step, kick….” I move to my mark on the stage and line up with the other hoofers in the chorus line. “Step, step, shift, turn,” I feel the momentum. A spotlight illuminates us. My swaddled legs kick in time with […]

Only a scam call she thought as she blocked out the noise. But a second immediate call got her attention. The caller ID identified […]
