Mission
SOUTH KENT SCHOOL IS AN INDEPENDENT, COLLEGE-PREPARATORY SCHOOL FOR BOYS. SINCE ITS FOUNDING, SOUTH KENT HAS MAINTAINED TIES WITH THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH. THREE PRINCIPLES DEFINE THE SCHOOL: SIMPLICITY OF LIFE, SELF-RELIANCE, AND DIRECTNESS OF PURPOSE.WE OFFER, BY LIVING SIMPLY, AN UNCLUTTERED ENVIRONMENT FOR LIVELY AND RIGOROUS LEARNING.WE ENCOURAGE OUR STUDENTS TO BECOME SELF-RELIANT IN ORDER TO DEVELOP COMPETENCE AND SELF-ESTEEM.WE VALUE DIRECTNESS OF PURPOSE: WE WANT EACH STUDENT TO WELCOME THE CHALLENGE TO FOCUS HIS ENERGIES, TO SET GOALS, AND TO WORK TO MEET THEM.
