Dorm life is the very center of South Kent’s boarding school community and therefore crucial in creating a positive school experience. Dorm living provides each student with the opportunity to learn valuable lessons about living with others and becoming self-reliant.
A Residential Dorm Parent supervises each dormitory. They, along with non-resident faculty members, are responsible for seeing that the School’s guidelines are followed in the dorms. Assisting the dorm parents are student dorm supervisors whose responsibilities range from maintaining order and cleanliness to fostering positive dorm morale. Students meet regularly by dorm to address issues and concerns, as well as to participate in constructive residential dorm activities. Ultimately the quality of dorm life is controlled by each resident’s commitment to taking pride in himself and being considerate of his neighbors.
