Our Alumni

Some professional educators have called for evidence-based practices in the field of education. There is no greater evidence of the benefits of a classical education at Princeton Latin and Science Academies than the accomplishments and successes of our alumni. The alumni profiles of our two schools can be found here and here respectively. However, these profiles are sometimes unable to reveal the details behind the achievements of our alumni. On this page you will find a list, updated monthly, of what our alumni have done..
