Kent is a school very focused on academics and STEM, with the goal of making sure all students are fully prepared for the college experience. Kent describes itself as “An elite education; not an education for the elites,” and has a generous financial aid policy to back up that claim. While the school is associated with the Episcopal church, students of all faith backgrounds are welcome to attend.
