School Notes
Kent School is a regional, independent day school serving
students from Pre-Kindergarten through Eighth Grade. We accomplish
our mission by setting high academic and personal standards; by
having a devoted and highly skilled faculty; and by actively living
our community values of integrity, respect, responsibility and
friendship. We honor the diverse backgrounds and special talents of
our students and strive to maintain a strong school-home
partnership and a safe, warm environment. Our students leave Kent
School ready for the challenges of college-preparatory secondary
schools.Central to our mission is a school philosophy built upon
several principles. We understand that the child is at the center
of the learning process. We encourage our students to be
resourceful, independent and disciplined learners who have the
confidence to take risks and who readily accept new challenges. We
recognize the power of interdisciplinary teaching. We value our
commitments and connections to our local and global
communities.
Kent School admits students of any race, color, national or
ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and
activities generally accorded or made available to students at the
school.
