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!
