August 10, 2011 -
In an effort to protect the rights of parents and children under state law and prevent the misuse of public funds, PIACS has petitioned the Commissioner of Education to enjoin the Princeton Regional, West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional, and South Brunswick school districts from spending public funds and using their governmental positions to further impede the opening of the school. The school districts' questions and concerns were taken into consideration by the Commissioner during the application approval process. Moreover, after the Commissioner approved the PIACS application the school districts failed to appeal the decision. Click here to read the complete press release.

In its initial year PIACS will offer instruction for Kindergarten (60 students) 1st grade (60 students) and 2nd grade (50 students), and will add a grade each subsequent year.

Welcome!

The vision of Princeton International Academy Charter School (PIACS) is to educate young people of all backgrounds consistent with the highest ideals of human development, participatory democracy, and social justice with fluency in two international languages--Chinese and English--to promote a peaceful, ethical, and equitable world. PIACS students will be advocates, leaders, and change agents skilled as thinkers, communicators, and risk-takers who are knowledgeable, caring, and reflective in asking important questions and collaborating wisely, creatively and effectively for answers.

On January 11, 2010, the New Jersey Department of Education approved PIACS application to begin the admissions process to open our doors in September of 2010 for K-2nd graders who reside in our region, which is comprised of Princeton Regional, South Brunswick, and West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional school districts.
