Princeton Day School is a private school in Princeton, New Jersey. It enrolls about 900 students in grades junior kindergarten - 12. The largest division is the Upper School (grades 9-12), with an enrollment of about 380.
Princeton Day School is the result of the 1965 merger of two prominent Princeton schools. Miss Fine's School, a school for girls, and Princeton Country Day School, a school for boys, merged in order to form what is now PDS. Enrollment grew steadily, until the mid 1990's, when it began to level off. The population of the school has remained around 900 students since the beginning of the century.
