Petrides is a non-zoned Pre-Kindergarten through 12th-grade school that offers students a seamless and supportive educational experience from early childhood through graduation. Admission is determined by a grade-specific lottery process. Detailed information about admissions can be found on the following pages.

Our expansive campus features exceptional athletic and recreational facilities, supporting a robust athletics program that includes football, soccer, wrestling, volleyball, lacrosse, track, bowling, and more. Students also benefit from a wide range of clubs and extracurricular activities such as Anime Club, Debate, Habitat for Humanity, My Brother’s/Sister’s Keeper, Newspaper, Student Government, and Yearbook.

Beyond academics, Petrides fosters curiosity, leadership, and a strong sense of belonging. Our close-knit community allows students, families, and staff to build lasting relationships—creating a supportive environment where we truly grow together as a family and prepare students for success in college, careers, and life.
