As a boarding or day student at Kents Hill School, you will be immersed in a vital community with many opportunities and activities. Kents Hill is known for the friendly, open spirit that defines campus life. Being connected to and supporting each other come first here. Kents Hill students challenge themselves in academics, athletics, and extracurricular activities in an atmosphere of mutual respect and encouragement. Teachers at Kents Hill have a passion for their subjects that engages students in the exploration of ideas.
They also serve as coaches for athletic teams, dorm parents, and academic advisors. You will have the chance to spend time with your teachers and their families informally, over brownies in the dorm and weekend activities like a trip to L.L. Bean. Your teachers will be important resources and guides as you manage academic and extracurricular commitments. The advising program pairs students with faculty members in small groups that meet weekly at a designated time in the schedule. Students also share a meal with their advisors at least once a week. Our structured advising program reflects our dedication to giving every student the support to succeed.
Kents Hill School students make things happen, from organizing hiking trips to planning Saturday night dances. Boarding school life is a complete experience, with friendships made in the dormitories, on athletic teams, and through shared interests in extracurricular groups. At the heart of this experience is the value Kents Hill places on giving students leadership opportunities and instilling a strong sense of ethics. What we do at Kents Hill, from our time together in the classroom to social events on the weekends, is shaped by our core values of altruism, compassion, courage, friendship, honesty, perseverance, responsibility, scholarship, sportsmanship, and tolerance, which together represent leadership.
Our core values are at the center of conversations in the classroom, in advising groups, and on the playing field. A boarding school offers much more than the typical day school: an internationally diverse student body, a living and learning environment that introduces students to new experiences, opportunities for project-based learning and study in other countries, and the chance to assume a wide range of leadership roles on campus. Students find that boarding school life gives them the independence, confidence, and initiative that makes for a smooth transition to college and prepares them for wide-ranging careers.
