Description

The Hun School provides a diverse community that places a high value on creative and rigorous traditional college preparatory curriculum in a structured environment; develops character, community and values; meets the students’ differing talents, interests and academic needs through a supportive staff in a variety of programs; and encourages students to widen their horizons, gain an appreciation for and an excitement about learning and achieve their full potential.

The Hun School combines deep roots in Princeton with a truly national and international student body.  We balance the traditional college preparatory curriculum with one-on-one attention to the unique talents of every student, academic rigor with exciting arts and competitive athletics. 

The Hun School is “Test Flexible” for the 2023-2024 admission season– standardized testing is required, but it does not have to be the SSAT.
