Kent's philosophy begins with our motto: Simplicity of Life, Directness of Purpose and Self-Reliance. Our boarding environment means that learning takes place throughout the day, inside and outside the classroom, with teachers, coaches, and friends. Because of our unique geography, Kent's facilities - from the art studios to the playing fields, the library to the Dining Hall, the classrooms to the student center - are just a short walk away. You will discover that one of the great rewards of boarding school is living where you learn. Beyond the books and classes, activities and responsibilities, games and performances, Kent is a place where you will meet and make friends for life.
