roles will be another significant part of the boarding school experience at Kent. Through community service projects you will join with your classmates to make a difference, perhaps by building a house with Habitat for Humanity or taking a summer mission trip to Ecuador or Peru. With our Episcopal roots, spiritual life is important, too. Twice weekly chapel services celebrate our community life and welcome people of all faiths. On the weekend, help organize a dance or join activities with groups that range from the Environmental Club to the Math Team.

“ We’ve lived together for four years and that only works if there’s good communication. We know that Kent is giving us the opportunity to leave our mark here. We’ve learned how to become independent thinkers; we’ve figured out who we are.

Kent is special like that.”

Come discover our beautiful campus located between the Housatonic River and the Appalachian Trail, and a community of peers and teachers who will open your eyes to the world.

“ Living and working at Kent, I see my students all over campus. I chat with them in the dining hall, cheer them on at sports events, bring my young children to watch them on stage. I get to know them in so many ways, as whole people.�
