OVERVIEW Central to the philosophy of the School's founders is the belief
that the real purpose of education is not simply to fill students
with information but to enable them to think. Pennington continues
to be a community dedicated to producing well-rounded individuals
who are prepared for life's challenges.
The academic program in the ninth through twelfth grades is designed
to prepare students for college, and a traditional curriculum is
followed in all major academic disciplines. Students who demonstrate
academic excellence are encouraged to pursue honors level and AP
level courses, available in all academic disciplines.
