Kent School

It should be noted that tuition only covers part of the cost of educating a student at Kent. Presently, the total cost amounts to over $80,000 per student annually; the difference is made up through the School’s endowment along with annual contributions from alumni, parents and friends. Tuition covers all academic instruction as well as room and board, but additional fees may apply.

Payment Options

• For domestic families, Kent offers one, two, or ten (with a one-time fee) payment plans.
• Tuition Solutions Loan Program offers loans to domestic families through Springstone Financial LLC with a flexible repayment period of 24-84 months. Families may borrow up to $50,000 with no prepayment penalties.

Opening Doors to a Kent Education

It was the vision of Kent’s founder, Father Frederick Herbert Sill, to build a school where students "of slender means could gain an education second to none.” To this day, Kent remains true to Father Sill’s vision by maintaining a generous financial aid budget. Kent seeks to provide its extraordinary educational opportunity to bright, motivated and talented students, regardless of one’s ability to pay.
