Welcome to Packer

Located in the heart of Brooklyn Heights, Packer is an independent school offering a Pre-K through 12th Grade program that serves students from New York City, New Jersey, and Long Island.

Our Program

From preschool through high school, our academic program directs young people to become critical thinkers as well as creative risk-takers. Our highly trained, collaborative faculty create age-appropriate academic challenges while providing the holistic support that young people need to realize their full potential in and out of school. 

With small class sizes and attention to both intellectual and social-emotional growth, Packer students develop a sense of empowerment in all aspects of their lives. They are encouraged to explore their interests and to participate in the world around them. Whether in one of our classrooms, on stage, or on the athletic field, Packer students are confident, curious, and determined.

Our Community

We believe that the best learning happens in a strong, joyful community of children and adults. In and out of the classroom, we cultivate empathy, inclusion, and kindness. A guiding tenet of our mission is to act with purpose and heart, and this is a philosophy that continually inspires us. We provide countless student-centered leadership opportunities for all age levels. Our strong sense of connectedness goes hand-in-hand with our emphasis on balance between the head and the heart.
