Kent Place is a very welcoming and empowering community for girls and their families. The school thrives and supports that spark and curiosity of learning from Junior Pre K to 12th grade in one campus. Even we live in a top rated public school district in a nearby town, we chose KPS for its culture, academic strength, and arts/sports program. Very happy about the andministrative aspects as well.

I can say with full certainty that deciding to attend Kent Place School was the worst decision I have made in my life. As a high school student, I had traumatizing experiences with teachers, was bullied despite never facing this issue in any previous schools, and found myself at an all-time low in the toxic environment. I say this from the bottom of my heart: do not attend Kent Place School.

I think it places major emphasis on college readiness that seems to pay off for its graduating students.

KPS has been nothing short of spectacular for our daughter. She is heard, understood and accepted. She has grown tremendously since she started and we are so impressed with the faculty and the pride they have for the work that they do.

Your child will learn everything she needs to know to be well prepared for the world academically, emotionally, and will discover life long friends here. Like any sch...

Awful, genuinlly the worst school ever. It comes off as a positive environment but it is toxic and dreadful. The only upside is good food.
