Innovation Center Plans Unveiled

Together We Soar Graphic

As part of the Together We Soar campaign, Kent School is seeking to raise $1 million dollars for the construction of an Innovation Center. The new Innovation Center will provide an environment where students learn to take thoughtful risks, solve complex problems, think critically, embrace collaboration and work through the creative process.  The Innovation Center will include the Middle School Science Lab, Middle School Math classrooms, and visual arts classrooms – including both a 2D art studio and a 3D art studio/maker space for all students. The new Middle School Science Lab will include state-of-the-art equipment for the program designed to teach students the scientific method while teaching core understanding of key principles in Earth Science, Life Science and Physical Science integrated with environmental science and Chesapeake Bay Studies. To learn more and view plans visit Together We Soar.

“We are very excited about the ways this innovative project will enrich the rigorous educational opportunities that are the hallmark of a Kent School education,” Head of School, Nancy Mugele, said. 

“We are proud to have raised more than $1.3 million toward the $2.3 million goal established by the Board of Trustees for the Together We Soar campaign.  An additional $1 million for the middle school project, including a $150,000 deferred maintenance fund, PPRRSP (Plant Replacement, Renewal and Special Maintenance), will complete this bold campaign,” she concluded.
