Meet Jake


PRESSURE? MORE LIKE THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

If there is a word to describe Pingry’s former pitching ace, Jake Francis ’23,
it would have to be unflappable. Whether out on the pitching mound with the game
on the line, or hunched over his books quietly prepping for a test, Jake is
unruffled. Unbothered. Where some may get nervous, Jake remains focused. It’s
this innate quality of his that was refined during his time at Pingry. His time
at Pingry taught him many things, yet chief among them was the importance of
seeking out challenging opportunities. “Pingry has provided me with an
incredible foundation, with strong academics and great sports programs,” he
says. Pingry nurtured his drive to push past temporary failures so he may
achieve great things. After all, throwing a 91 mph fastball doesn’t happen on
the first try.

Though for Jake, who quite literally threw a perfect game on his first outing at
Pingry, it nearly does.

Now starting his baseball career at Villanova University, Jake was accepted into
their extremely competitive School of Business. “I have learned so much from all
of my Pingry coaches, teachers, mentors, and teammates that I will carry on to
college,” he says. “Coach Feltre, Dean Hoepfl, and Mr. Lear have all been such
important role models to me. I am really thankful for their guidance and
support.” The expectations are high, and so is the workload, yet he is excited
by it all.

And, of course, unflappable.

MIRIKA JAMBUDI

> “I had this mentality of saying yes to trying new things. Pingry is a place
> that allows its students to create something much bigger than yourself.”

Meet Mirika


FROM BIG BLUE TO CRIMSON RED

Mirika Jambudi ’23 is getting ready for college. She is packing her bags, saying
her goodbyes, and tying up loose ends. Harvard bound, and bound to make an
impact, Mirika is nonetheless in a reflective mood. She’s part of the Pingry
alumni community now, and she is getting ready to experience the wider world.
“I’m excited for what comes next,” she says. “I’m excited to meet new people, to
hear new perspectives—to see more.”

Mirika found the vast opportunities at Pingry too exciting to pass up, and, even
more importantly, she found a support system for risk taking that encouraged her
to dive right in. The thrill and wonder of daily life at Pingry was infectious,
and it transformed her initial approach of a meticulously planned out freshman
year—she was going to join the cross country team before suffering a stress
fracture, so she pivoted to performing in the fall play instead, despite never
having performed onstage. Soon, Mirika was embracing—and discovering—all kinds
of unexpected interests.

“I had this mentality of saying yes to trying new things,” she says, before
adding that Pingry is a place that allows its students to “create something much
bigger than yourself.”

As she gets ready to step foot onto Harvard’s campus, there is one thing she is
definitely bringing with her, along with all those packed bags: the joy and
confidence to pivot from the stress fractures of life and Say Yes.

IDENTITY SLIDESHOW

01. OUR HONOR CODE IS THE SOUL OF PINGRY.

We care about where you’re going—but we care more about how you get there. Are
you acting with compassion and integrity? Are you seeing beyond yourself and
showing concern for others? That’s why our student-written Honor Code is a
treasured part of our history and a moral compass for today’s Pingry community. 


02. WE STRIKE AN INSPIRING BALANCE.

We’re exceptionally attuned to the well-being of our students. We want them to
take pleasure and pride in everything they do, even when (perhaps especially
when) they struggle or stumble. We help them broaden their experience—exploring
the arts, athletics, service, and more—and deepen their sense of stability and
possibility. 


03. WE CREATE LIFELONG CONNECTIONS.

Our motto is “Greatest respect is due students.” Our education is rooted in
dynamic, often life-changing connections between students and teachers. We learn
from our students, listen closely to them, and support them with a network of
nourishing relationships. Families work in partnership with teachers and staff
members; coaches and advisers guide and inspire students; graduates mentor new
generations of students. Every day, in every corner of our community, we cheer
one another on and build one another up. 


04. OUR ACADEMIC PROGRAM LOOKS AHEAD.

Our approach to education is forward-looking and research-driven. Thoughtfully,
intentionally, we apply new practices in the classroom, develop new programs,
and explore new opportunities that meet the needs of our students and the
demands of the wider world. 


05. WE STRENGTHEN THE PINGRY CULTURE TOGETHER.

We’re home to families from 90 different communities, including a significant
number of first-generation independent school families. We’re a leader in
developing—and supporting—programs that build an inclusive, equitable community.
The result is a school culture strengthened every year by smart, enterprising
people from a broad range of backgrounds. 


06. WE SUPPORT BRIGHT, PROMISING STUDENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR FINANCIAL
CIRCUMSTANCES.

A Pingry education makes an immediate impact and has lifelong value. We want
that education to be accessible to families from a broad range of backgrounds.
That’s why we offer a generous tuition assistance program to support students
and families with financial need. 


07. WE GRADUATE GOOD PEOPLE.

Our highest ambition is to prepare students to be good people—people who think
critically and work collaboratively, who speak clearly and listen with
compassion, who adapt to new information and anticipate new conditions, who
attend to their health and to the health of their communities. Our graduates
enroll in colleges and universities that meet their ambitions—and they have the
courage, the character, and the skills to cultivate a better world.

$8.3 MILLION IN TUITION ASSISTANCE

We recognize that investing in a Pingry education for your child is a
significant financial decision and we are dedicated to helping families have
access to this opportunity. We believe that socio-economic diversity enriches
our community and is critical to our mission to foster compassion, curiosity,
and awareness of self and others.

Close



FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

We bleed blue and white. There is nothing quite like that feeling of cheering on
the Pingry football team under the lights on Parsons Field each fall. We believe
that creating opportunities for connection outside of the regular school day is
an essential part of the Pingry experience. 

Close



ROBUST GLOBAL PROGRAMMING

To be a Pingry student is to be an explorer. Our ideas are not contained by
classroom walls, nor do our connections end at a ZIP code. Our heart is in
Pingry, yet adventure awaits in the world at large.

Close



SPRING INTENSIVES

We believe that experiences that are academically immersive and intellectually
adventurous result in deep and lasting learning and foster a lifelong love of
exploration and discovery. Pingry Upper School students engage in this
“minimester” academic period lasting two weeks at the end of each academic year.

Close



THE INDEPENDENT RESEARCH TEAM (IRT)

The primary objective of the IRT is to provide Pingry students with the
opportunity to engage in scientific inquiry and dive more deeply into topics
including molecular biology, biochemistry, physics, and computer science.
Students design and conduct experiments, collect and analyze data, and present
their findings to the Pingry community during Research Week, as well as through
a published research journal.

Close

 


THE POTTERSVILLE CAMPUS

The best of both worlds: we’re a day school with a boarding school campus. Our
83-acre Pottersville Campus boasts 54 dorm rooms, offering Pingry students
short-term residential experiences and the advantages of immersive
programming—giving our students the rare opportunity to be part of a community
of learners who are totally immersed in the task at hand.


PINGRY IS HOME

Our friendships give us courage, teach us compassion, and broaden our vision. To
us, an outstanding education is rooted in authentic relationships across
generations.
