At Hun, it's not just about what you learn, but how you learn it.
That's why our curriculum is filled with a healthy mix of academics that stretch our minds and personal endeavors that make our hearts soar. It's what we call a balanced equation.
The Hun School of Princeton was founded by Princeton University Math Professor Dr. John Gale Hun in 1914. Dr. Hun believed that he could teach any student even the most complex ideas by getting to know them on a personal level. More than 100 years later, our teachers still take this approach. They aspire to bring out the unique gifts of each student by taking the time to know them, bond with them, and then by deftly pivoting their lessons to meet their individual characteristics.
