The Pennington School was a learning institution located in Wellington, New Zealand.

In 2371, Jake Sisko considered an internship at the Pennington School to study writing. (DS9 episode: "Explorers")

Jake was still considering attending Pennington in 2372 and 2373. (DS9 episodes: "Homefront", "The Muse", DS9 novel: Trial by Error)

In an alternate timeline in which Benjamin Sisko was displaced from time and presumed killed, Jake left Deep Space 9 and attended Pennington, which he later graduated from. (DS9 episode: "The Visitor")

While this school does not actually exist, Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand, does in reality have its own well renowned creative writing program. Wellington-based New Zealand fan writer, fanzine editor and convention organizer, Lana Pennington-Brown, who was befriended by several of the production staff of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, inspired the name of the fictitious educational institution.

The Star Trek: Vanguard series of novels features a 23rd century journalist named Tim Pennington, after whom David Mack has confirmed the Pennington School is named.
