Overview
The moment you enter through our doors, you will feel the magic of our school community.
Here, every student is known, celebrated and valued. Within every CDS scholar lies the potential for greatness.
At The Peck School, your child thrives in a community shaped by timeless traditions and timely transformation. Our carefully crafted K-8 program enriches each child's experience by serving as a powerful proving ground, where a child becomes more, sooner.
We set our academic and ethical bars high, and children learn to reach a little further than they thought they could. Our intentionally scaled, close-knit program is grounded in gentle kindness, but is also continually elevating and engaging. From the very start, your child is immersed in our intimate, carefully interlaced program that introduces them to role models worth following and equips them, over time, with the strength to lead.
Here, a student's character takes root as their minds take flight, and they prepare for whatever tomorrow may bring, while loving learning today.
