Our Mission
Kent School is a regional, independent day school serving students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. Our primary goal is to help our students realize their full promise. We accomplish this 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.
Our School
Kent School is comprised of three divisions: the Little School, for three, four, and five year olds; the Lower School, for students in kindergarten through fourth grade; and the Middle School, for students in fifth through eighth grades.
