Special Services
On occasion, a student may have specific needs that cannot be met within the regular classroom or our usual curriculum. These needs may be identified at the time of enrollment, or upon the recommendation for evaluation by a classroom teacher during the school year. Students who are eligible to receive state-funded supplemental instruction, may be scheduled into individual or small group tutoring sessions with a teacher from Catapult Learning Services, Inc.

Students who are not eligible for state-funded services, may receive supplemental evaluation and/or instruction at the school, from a variety of learning specialists including reading, speech, ESL, and more. There will be a separate fee for these services and payment must be arranged separately with the providers.

Financial Aid
Financial aid at Princeton Junior School allows for an economically diverse student population including a strong representation from middle income families and is awarded on the basis of financial need.

To apply for aid. A student must be accepted to the school before an award is considered. Admission decisions are made separately from Financial Aid decisions. Families should submit financial aid requests as early as possible in the New Year as funds are limited. The financial needs of returning families are met first. Remaining funds are then awarded to new families. Financial aid is not available for the 2\'s Class, the 3\'s Class or for the Full Year Packages. The financial aid application process must be reviewed each year for continued assistance for the following year.

Tuition Aid Data Services (TADS) is used to assess the information provided in each financial aid application. Award decisions are determined by the Princeton Junior School Financial Aid Committee based on the information provided by parents to TADS.

Financial aid application information is considered confidential.
