About Peddie School
The history of the Peddie School can be traced back to 1864. It was the earliest Female Seminary. Since then, it has been changed into a co-ed school. After long-term development and evolvement, it became the current Peddie School. In order to commemorate Thomas Peddie, the Peddie School got its name in 1872. It has passed the certification of MSACS. The Peddie School covers an area of 230 acres, surrounded by lakes and trees, and famous for the graceful accommodation conditions. Hightstown, where the School stands, is located in the east of Princeton, in the middle of New York and Philadelphia, and it is only a one hour-drive to the cultural centre mentioned above.
