Pilgrim School
Overview
+(1).jpg)
Pilgrim secondary students continue their progress from readiness to full participation in the world of young adulthood. They find themselves poised to integrate the lessons of heart, mind, and soul. As students meet the greater demands of Middle and High School, they find the support of attentive and caring teachers complemented by new learning tools. Access to technology — including individual iPads and laptops, media, and choice, encourages students to take risks within Pilgrim’s community of academic, athletic, artistic, and civic leadership. Students graduate with a strong sense of their potential, and a readiness to participate actively and thoughtfully as adults in the world. Pilgrim students all go on to pursue education at a higher level, and are accepted into Ivy League, as well as smaller liberal arts schools, top art institutions, and international colleges such as the Sorbonne and Oxford. What is most important about our students’ matriculation however, is the process of pairing the student with the right school. College counselors, faculty, and the Head of School all work together with each student and family, discussing each student’s dreams, abilities, needs, and interests when choosing a school. Students have guidance throughout the application process, including workshops on essay writing, applying for financial assistance, and interview techniques.
Academics
Summary: Our philosophy of education is traditional and innovative. Our students focus on essential knowledge and skills necessary for success. 100% of our students go on to study at some of the finest colleges and universities in the country. In fact, when alumni return to visit our school, they share the same story: Pilgrim fully prepared them for college in every way. They learn how to work hard, how to advocate for themselves, and how to participate fully in college life. How do we do it? We're unique in that the parents who founded the school in 1958 wanted a traditional curriculum that stresses high academic standards and civic virtues. We remain loyal to this original mission.
