Since 1838 The Pennington School has been educating and mentoring our students, encouraging them to become their best selves and to lead a life of service and integrity. In the classrooms, in the art studios, on the playing fields, and in the dormitories, a talented, passionate, and empathetic faculty engages with students in meaningful and purposeful ways. Walk through any academic building, take a seat in the dining hall, or stand at the sidelines of an athletic contest and you will witness how positively students and adults interact and how every moment at Pennington becomes a teaching moment.
