Princeton Day School Announces $250,000 Gift From Zlock Family

On Tuesday, April 8, Paul J. Stellato, Head of School at Princeton Day School announced that Kevin M. Zlock and Sima Zlock have donated $250,000 for the purpose of establishing two funds to benefit students and faculty at the school and to provide continued support of the school’s Annual Fund.
 
The Kevin M. Zlock and Sima Zlock Scholarship Fund will provide need-based financial aid for outstanding children, regardless of their financial circumstances, to pursue a quality education at Princeton Day School. The Kevin M. Zlock and Sima Zlock Faculty Fund will support Princeton Day School faculty in their pursuit of creating and teaching interdisciplinary courses, and will promote student independent research in the Upper School.
 
In announcing the news, Mr. Stellato remarked, “Our school is fortunate to have friends such as Sima and Kevin Zlock, whose generous support of students, faculty, and program will ensure the success of them all.”
 
Kevin Zlock, of Zlock & Coverdale P.C., a law practice with offices in Langhorne and Doylestown, and his wife Sima have a daughter who is a junior at Princeton Day School.

Mrs. Zlock noted, “Our goal with this gift to Princeton Day School is two-fold. First, we want to ensure that talented students from disadvantaged backgrounds have access to a quality education. This gift reaffirms that regardless of financial situation, students who are intellectually curious and passionate about learning should be able to pursue their talents at an institution like Princeton Day. Second, we want to aid in PDS’s commitment to interdisciplinary studies. We support the faculty whose successful efforts have brought together multiple disciplines, creating new and enriching learning experiences.”

Mr. Zlock added, “Princeton Day School continuously pursues the next frontiers of education, and we are excited and honored to be part of that endeavor.”
