School Leadership

Paul J. Stellato Headshot

Welcome to Princeton Day School!

Here, a robust, rigorous academic and co-curricular experience is crafted each day by the students and faculty whose curiosity is great and whose imaginations are unbounded. We are a small school, within which close relationships begin, grow, flourish and are nurtured and renewed for a lifetime. And yet we are a large school, with offerings broad and deep. We are a school where it is good to be smart, to strive, to seek, to answer, and to question. We are a school blessed with tradition, as we trace our roots to the 19th century: from the sturdy threads of our forebears, Miss Fine’s School and Princeton Country Day School, we have knit a rich tapestry of excellence in the education of students from Pre-K to 12th grade. We are a school of tomorrow, preparing our students to lead in a world that will demand and require their skill and vision. Yet we are also a school of today, with eyes always fixed on the rich opportunities of the present moment.

So, welcome. For more reasons than we can possibly imagine, I am certain we will be pleased to have found one another.
