Leadership

From our Head of School 

Welcome to Packer's website, which we have designed to offer a rich understanding of the Packer experience. We are exceptionally proud of our academic program, which balances rigorous study with a student-centered and inquiry-based approach. At all grade levels, we work to promote active learning through exploration, experimentation, and collaboration. 

I hope you will take some time to get to know our extraordinary faculty and staff. They collaborate closely to provide the right kinds of support for each student’s intellectual and personal growth. By emphasizing a holistic approach to health and wellness, we lead students to sustainable and lasting forms of achievement. In short, we focus on both head and heart, and you can feel that commitment to balance in our halls.

Our community is serious and motivated as well as joyful and open-hearted. This is an unusual combination, and it works. We cherish the close and trusting relationships that take root here and allow us to grow, together, as a community. For 173 years, our emphasis on relationships has been a defining aspect of our school. Today, we are actively engaged in ensuring that each and every Packer student feels a sense of connection and inclusion. 

Packer’s 1000+ students from PreK through 12th Grade benefit from our unique Brooklyn Heights campus, which is both historic and fully modernized. The Packer Early Learning Center, a state-of-the-art building designed for our Preschool and Kindergarten students, is located at 100 Clinton Street, one short block from our campus.

One of the ways you can get to know the Packer community is to spend some time with us. Register to attend an Admissions Open House, take a tour of our campus, and meet our administrators and faculty.  

Thank you for your interest in The Packer Collegiate Institute.

Dr. Jennifer Weyburn
