Pioneer Academy

Pioneer has always had a strong academic program, but it''s been exciting to see the arts and athletics continue to grow as well. The school truly listens to its students'' interests and works to create opportunities that help them explore their passions both inside and outside the classroom.

Pioneer Academy is a great private school. It offers not only a challenging but also a supportive and diverse learning environment embellished with a variety of clubs, activities, and field trips. The staff is also diligent, and very solution-oriented, which is not easy to find everywhere else. I have two kids in both levels, lower and upper school. I can confidently say that they have a chance to thrive and reach their fullest potential. My kids are happy I`m happy, it`s a great school all in all.

My son has attended Pioneer Academy since he was in 5th grade. We traveled from Europe and I thought he might have some difficulties adapting and blend in. Thanks to the Pioneer Academy dedicated and Professional Middle School Team he had no struggle at all. Pioneer Academy was able to manage the diversity of the student body and they build and reflect tolerance and respect between students. My son is now in 9th grade and attending Pioneer Academy. When teachers welcome students, everyone in the class welcomes each other. They form a great connection between teachers and students. This connection reflects students' quality. Since they love and respect their teachers they are very open to their tasks. Although I have seen my son complain about the HW loads he never misses any HW since the teachers were able to convince them it was necessary to learn and to become an intellectual person. I thank all Pioneer Academy Staff and Admin but particularly to the Middle school team.

Pioneer Academy is truly New Jersey's best kept secret. It is both a day school and boarding school. My son boards there. I am writing to give you a parent's prospective of the school. Before deciding on Pioneer, we considered several high-profiled boarding schools. We were discussing the pros and cons of each of the schools we had visited until a colleague of mine suggested that I visit Pioneer. At the end of my initial visit to Pioneer, it became very clear to me that this was the school I wanted for my son. Pioneer had a different atmosphere about it. All of attending students spoke very highly of the school. Students described devoted teachers and a rigorous academic program. Now that my son attends Pioneer, I can attest that Pioneer is the best that academia has to offer. The teachers are very committed to their students and the curriculum is very challenging. The facilities and labs are top notch. Although Pioneer is a small school compared to others, it offers courses that are none of the other schools do. It is an exceptional college preparatory school and I highly recommend it.

The administration and staff at this school strive to improve the school in all aspects. There is a friendly and safe atmosphere for all students. Classroom sizes are small and students are respectful. SAT average and college acceptance rate is high.
