The Pennington School

At Summers at Pennington art summer camps, we use the unique perspectives and backgrounds of each student to tailor the goals and direction of the course, allowing us to focus on students’ interests and strengths as a guide to their exploration of the arts. 

We believe in creating a fun and safe environment, giving the students a place to explore, try new things, make mistakes, and discover/expand their passion for the arts while gaining technical application and skills. 

We build onto the fun by incorporating aspects of traditional teaching, theory, and concepts—providing the perfect balance to ensure each artist has the tools necessary for individual excellence. 

The Summers at Pennington Arts Studio provides an opportunity for:

• Self-discovery through the Arts;

• Specific skill development and advancement in a specific subject (Music, Theater, Painting, etc.);

• Fun hands-on experiential experience;

• Contribution to the development and retention of individual passion for the arts by encouraging individual fitness including: physical, emotional, intellectual, and social;

• Tailored programs for all skill levels and opportunities to participate in activities on a level appropriate to each students’ ability;

• Each student to participate in and develop his/her abilities in the Arts through a sequential progression of learning;

• Professional and personal growth, fun, and a new experience;

• To continue the development of a positive attitude (growth mindset) by participating, being courageous in weakness, controlling one’s strength, and being appreciative, respectful, considerate, and honest with classmates, critics, instructors, and oneself.
