In 1998, Common Ground I was established by a dedicated parent association in the Princeton area. These volunteers brought twelve independent schools together into one consortium that continues to work towards bringing education, information, and inspiration to their community at large. One year later, in an effort to serve the independent schools of Northern New Jersey with this vision, Common Ground II, now called Common Ground Speaks, was formed. Its goal is to provide compelling speaker programs and workshops that cover a myriad of timely topics impacting lives today.

The Peck School is an independent, coeducational day school for kindergarten through eighth grade. Its fourteen-acre campus is located on South Street in Morristown, NJ. Founded in 1893, the school strives to educate bright minds through its nationally recognized character education program and rigorous, inspirational academic curriculum.
