A fifth and sixth grader showing off their dance skillsThis February the students of Princeton Latin Academy and Princeton Science Academy were joined by their teachers, parents, graduates of the School and the parents of graduates for the School’s first annual Valentine’s Day Gala, which was held at the Holly Hedge Estate in New Hope, PA. The School’s students in grades five through 12 geared up for the big event with five-weeks of after-school dance lessons, during which they learned to waltz, tango, meringue and fox trot. At the actual event, their dance instructor acted as DJ and led the students through many of the steps they had learned.

“It was incredible to see the kids mastering these dances and having such a great time in the process,” remarked the School’s headmaster, Francesco Perrulli. “They’re already asking about next year’s event!”
