A The Pennington School (35 reviews)
The Pennington School is an independent coeducational school for students in grades 6 through 12, offering both day and boarding programs, with boarding beginning in 8th grade. Having welcomed international students since 1885, we offer ELL/ESL, a popular host family program that pairs international boarding students with local day families, and a full-time Director of International Students who facilitates airport transfers, I-20 applications, and other important logistical support. Founded in 1838, Pennington values both tradition and innovation, and is firmly rooted in a whole-student character development focusing on our core values: Honor, Virtue, and Humility. The school's long and proud history of inclusive practices has built a truly diverse and welcoming community. Pennington offers 40 Honors/AP classes and graduates about 100-110 seniors a year--85% of whom gain admittance to their top choice college. In recent years, we have developed forward thinking certificate programs that offer students opportunities to dive deeper into Global Studies, Applied Sciences (Pre-engineering and/or Computer Programming), and Social Entrepreneurship (in conjunction with The University of Pennsylvania). Our Horizon Internship Program helps Seniors gain invaluable hands-on experiences in an impressive range of professions all over the world! The town of Pennington has been called "the safest in NJ" and offers many conveniences within a 1-5 minute walk. The campus is just 10 minutes from Princeton, an hour to either NYC and Philadelphia, and easily accessible to international airports. The location also lends itself to wonderful educational and recreational opportunities that make it easy to offer fun and dynamic weekend activities.
