We were so impressed by the South Kent experience for our son. Academy is challenging yet designed to encourage each boy`s best performance. Strong sense of community and personal responsibility. And, athletic excellence in the truest sense of the word. Our son gained self-esteem and lasting friendships-and he was placed into an excellent college. Highest marks from this parent for SKS.

Our sons have thrived academically and socially. A true sense of community and family at this great school. Academics are rigorous and offer the opportune to think "out of the box".
Boys definitely learn differently and the single sex environment gives them the opportunity to thrive and be themselves.
