If you are new to boarding school it can be a hard transition. You are in an environment where you know no one. Kent School has many social clubs which help you to meet other students with common interests. You are on a 7-day schedule with not much downtime. Kent is academically challenging therefore, you need to apply yourself. There is very little adult supervision so you must maintain a schedule and stick to it. If you need extra help in a subject make sure to ask for it. Self motivation is the key. College will be an easy transition after you attend Kent. Although my brother was at Kent with me my first year, I was a bit homesick. I am a pretty good student but managing classes, my dorm, meals and laundry was challenging. I am grateful to have attended Kent School, it challenged me in many ways and has prepared me for my future.
Kent is located in a beautiful place where lake flows in-front and have giant mountain among us. With green trees and storey buildings. The school campus is full of grassy lawns, flowers, and clean environment. The view in Kent is astonishing that there is no single one day when I do not take a picture. The location is perfect for me as Kent is out of the city, without any noise or pollution but also have town near by where student can visit. It also have perfect route to city such as New York and Boston so it is easy for my family and I to travel. This place taught me discipline, respect, and responsibility. The teachers in Kent treat us as family.They care us and teaches us to follow discipline and good habits. They teach not only subject education but also moral education and social responsibility. I can not image my life without Kent and I am really thankful to my parent for sending me here and I am also thankful to myself in past for picking this school out of all option.
Kent has been the best thing that has happened to our family. The inclusive environment and caring staff has allowed our child to thrive. Our child loves learning and is encouraged to be curious, ask questions. Friendships developed are ones that will last a lifetime. Kent is truly a special place. If you are looking at schools, Kent should be at the top of your list. Beautiful location, excellent education, unbelievable staff!!
