Programs: Our curriculum at kent place best expresses our commitment to challenging girls, inspiring their love of learning and offering the richest education possible. Classes are taught by faculty who are masters in their fields and passionate about learning. Visual and performing arts, as well as sports instruction, are available to students. In a typical year, more than 90 of upper school students devote over 7,000 hours to community service, as well as have engaged in our global service learning initiative.

Our ethics institute, a first-of-its-kind at the elementary and secondary school levels, believes that fostering ethical thinking and ethical decision-making in the youngest of children prepares them to be the most effective leaders and compassionate citizens of tomorrow.
