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.

What an incredible gift those years were!
