Generous Gifts for Middle School Expansion Push Together We Soar Campaign Total to Nearly $2 Million
Together We Soar, Kent School’s $2.3 million campaign to expand its Middle School and grow its endowment, received a major boost last week. First, the school received a $250,000 commitment to name the new Innovation Center, which will be built on a 1,600 square foot concrete foundation that was poured in 2012 as a placeholder for future expansion of the Middle School.
Middle School Moments Matter
It’s particularly important to focus on the moments in Middle School as it’s a time when students grow and change rapidly while navigating the awkwardness of puberty. And, while it may seem like a blur, the truth is, Middle School moments matter in ways that often aren’t fully understood until later in life. The friendships formed, the challenges faced, and the lessons learned during these years have a profound impact on who students become as individuals.
Is it worth it?
Is an independent school education worth it? At Kent School, the answer is a resounding yes. From teaching cursive to preserve historical literacy to assigning full-length novels that foster critical thinking and deep engagement, Kent School ensures students are prepared for future academic success and beyond. Discover how our rigorous and joyful learning environment inspires students to meet high expectations and become true scholars.

What Our Families Are Saying
Reflecting on how thankful I am that our kids are safe and well cared for here as I wait for pickup today. We have so much to be grateful for.
CURRENT KENT SCHOOL PARENT
We are so extremely grateful that our son’s middle school years were spent here at Kent School.
He was able to step up and be a leader, be a member of a team, work toward common goals, problem solve, explore his interests, step out of his comfort zone (Frozen, Jr and reading poetry at the assembly), and self advocate.
What an incredible gift those years were!
