The Arts Department at The Pennington School offers a sequential curriculum and activities in drama, music, and the visual arts. Students learn skills and participate in ways that encourage a lifelong enjoyment of the arts.

Students in the Middle School enjoy exploratory courses in each of the three disciplines during the school day and related arts activities outside of the daily schedule.

In the Upper School, students take basic courses in drama, music, and art and then can proceed to intermediate and advanced courses in their areas of choice.
