Facilities
Annenberg Hall, formerly Memorial Hall, houses the English, mathematics, and foreign language departments.
In fall 2005, The Walter and Leonore Annenberg Science Center opened. The 42,000-square-foot (3,900 m2), US$19-million facility features 11 laboratory classrooms, a fully equipped DNA and Special Projects laboratory, a dedicated advanced experimental physics facility, a psychology seminar room, and 10 "genius" Smart Boards. The "genius" SMART boards are normal whiteboard surface boards, unlike normal SMART Boards, though capable of capturing any drawing on the board using special barcoded markers. Ceiling-mounted mobile fume-hoods are located above each table in the Biology and Chemistry department laboratories.
The Annenberg Science Center replaced science classrooms at the previously modern Caspersen Science Building, originally built in the late 1960s. It was subsequently remodeled and renamed Caspersen History House in 2006; it houses History department facilities.
The Swig Arts Center facilitates the school's visual art, music and theater programs.
The William Mount-Burke Theatre in Geiger-Reeves Hall hosts both student performances and outside ones as well.
The Ayer Memorial Chapel has been host to a variety of speakers, including Martin Luther King, Jr., U.S. President Gerald Ford, Colin Powell and former secretary of state Henry Kissinger.
The Peddie Golf Club is an 18-hole, par 72 golf course located on the Peddie School campus.
Student life is centered around the Caspersen Campus Center which houses the dining hall, the bookstore, and the student grill.
