Choosing the right school for your child is a major decision — and affordability is often top of mind. At Kent School in Chestertown, Maryland, we believe exceptional private education should be within reach for more families. Through transparent tuition, flexible payment options, and personalized financial aid, we make it easier to invest in your child’s future without compromising on quality.

- Flexible payment plans to ease budgeting
- A strong commitment to educational access and equity
