The Pennington School Reviews
" a welcoming community that has given me the ability to be independent and confident advocating for my academic needs." She has been equipped to achieve and the Cervone Center for Learning has provided her with the human resources to fully access the curriculum and support to maximize her ability. A school environment that represents the global experience is important to my family. A diverse student body should be reflective in faculty. We appreciate that there has been a visible and consistent effort to diversify the Pennington community. My student has been active in the many clubs and activities offered on campus and continues to serve fellow students in leadership roles. It is important to know that students are valued, seen, safe, respected, and heard. Pennington is a students-first community.
