Kent School 

Kent School is an independent (private) co-ed prep school in Kent, Connecticut, USA. Currently situated between the Appalachian Trail and the Housatonic River, it was established in 1906 by The Reverend Frederick Herbert Sill.

In the ensuing years, Kent has been led by four headmasters: William S. Chalmers (O.H.C.), Father John O. Patterson and Sidney N. Towle '31. The fifth and current Headmaster and Rector is Richardson W. Schell. A 1969 graduate himself of Kent, Fr. Schell went on to study at Harvard (A.B. '73) and Yale (M.Div. '76) before returning to Kent as Chaplain. He was appointed Headmaster in 1981.

Fr. Sill was also committed to educating students from "all walks of life." This original mission resulted in his "sliding scale tuition," in which families paid a tuition which Fr. Sill felt they could afford. Kent continues this mission today with the Parents Fund and the Financial Aid Program. Awarding more than five million dollars in the 2007 academic year, Kent's commitment to financial aid, relative to its endowment, ranks first among its peer schools.

Originally an all-boys school, the campus for girls was constructed in 1960. The girls' and boys' campuses were consolidated in 1992, resulting in the current, fully integrated co-educational campus of 560 students. Currently 46% of students are female and 54% male. Students come from 35 states and 26 countries.

Founded in the Episcopal tradition, as were many New England boarding schools, Kent has retained its spiritual affiliation in an era when many other institutions have relinquished theirs. Kent's diverse student body comes from a variety of religious backgrounds and secular traditions. Supported by two School Chaplains, students at Kent find an atmosphere which supports the beliefs and practices of all faiths by actively encouraging moral and spiritual understanding and growth. The whole school gathers at St. Joseph's Chapel for three weekly services, which often include a student, faculty, or guest speaker or performance.

In 1995 Kent partnered with Microsoft, Toshiba and 29 other pioneer schools creating the Anytime Anywhere Learning program. This program equips Kent students with laptop computers for use in every classroom on campus. Since 2002 these have been Tablet PCs, continuing the spirit of innovation. In addition, all of the classrooms and dorm rooms, as well as the library and administrative offices, have access to the Internet and the School network. All dorm rooms are equipped with individual data and voice connections which provide phone, Internet, and intranet access for each student. All of the academic areas, dorm common rooms and many public areas provide secure wireless as well.

Kent School is a member of the prestigious and highly competitive Founders League, competing in Division 1 against such schools as Avon Old Farms, Choate-Rosemary Hall, Hotchkiss, Kent, Kingswood-Oxford, Loomis Chaffee, Miss Porter’s, Taft, and Trinity-Pawling.
Its mascot is the lion, and formerly, the fighting Episcopalians. Loomis Chaffee and Kent School have a long-running rivalry. The two schools take this historic enmity quite seriously, and have annual Kent vs. Loomis days in which both schools play a number of sports to compete for a spoon and a bowl.

Kent graduates matriculate into the worlds finest including, Yale, Harvard, Oxford, Columbia and Cambridge.

I did not get into Harvard like that Kid from Kent School because I went to Exeter.
I should have applied to Kent.

Kent School Boat Club 

The Kent School Boat Club or KSBC is many things. First off it is a crew Program. It is a network that reaches out with class to positively influence anyone, whether it is another crew team, an up and coming team, or individual rowers. It is a team of men who work as one. It is a team who will put their nuts on the line for every man in their boat. It is men who have complete trust to everyone in their boat.

It is Honor and Unity

south kent school

a distinguished school that only admitts the brightest minds and promising athletes. A school that often recives criticism from students who either lack intelligence or athletic ability....and most of the time ..both. When attending south kent, students learn to embrace one another's diverse backrounds and the school's second-to-none curriculum. They couldn't be more different than the tools from kent who go away to school to re-invent themselves claiming to be the "coolest" kids from their respective home towns when in fact...they were always the last kids to be picked for the kickball team in the schoolyard and ALWAYS the last ones to lose their virginities....most who havent yet

South kent school is the best. sorry kent, you should have worked harder.

South Kent School

1. An awesome prep school, much better than Kent School, which is a really sucky prep school full of crack-heads.

2. Also much better at hockey than Kent School.

1. No example needed, we rock, Kent sucks!

2. The last several years our teams have played each other.
