Is it "The Peddie School" or just "Peddie School"? Would someone please look this up.

It is just "Peddie School" - they dropped the "The" shortly after adopting the new logo.

[edit] The Name Change

Dear Wikipedia user,

The school's name was recently changed.

The official name is now Peddie School.

[edit] "plus post-graduate"

Not only is "plus post-graduate" flawed grammatically, and a dangling modifier, but in this case it is especially confusing. "Post-graduate" usually means "beyond college" (for students who have bachelors' degrees), but in this context it might be intended to mean "beyond the twelfth grade." Does that mean "for students who have graduated from Peddie"? "For students (in any grade) who seek advanced placement in college"? Help, help, please! Unfree (talk) 08:44, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

The term is widely used in U.S. private schools. It means extra schooling after receiving a high school diploma but before attending a university. Most often, the students are athletes who graduated from some other high school but need more academics before they can be admitted to a NCAA Division I school. They attend the private school for a year to get the academics they need and help the private school achieve athletic glory while there. --Orlady (talk) 14:02, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
