Welcome to Lower School

Kent School is an independent school located in Chestertown, MD and serves children in Preschool, elementary school grades and middle school grades. Kent School’s Lower School is comprised of the elementary grades Kindergarten through Grade 4. Our academic goals are thoughtfully balanced with the developmental, emotional, and social needs of students.

  • High personal and academic standards allow children to reach their full promise by developing the skills and habits of mind that will last a lifetime.
  • Process and effort are valued as children learn to take pride in their work and become curious, persistent, resilient, independent, and respectful members of the classroom community.

In Lower School,  children begin and continue their joyful journey to  love and understand the process of learning in order to become effective, lifelong learners.
