The Pennington School was a learning institution located in Wellington, New Zealand.
In 2371, Jake Sisko considered a fellowship at the Pennington School to study writing. (DS9: "Explorers")
In an alternate 2372, after his father died, Jake Sisko considered again to join the Pennington school. Nog was happy about this decision because they would both stay on Earth. Although Jake still had his doubts, he eventually graduated several years later. (DS9: "The Visitor")
