Why Boys?
Research is showing that a boy’s brain develops differently from that of a
girl. South Kent School embraces these differences to create a boys-centered
curriculum that leads to success.
Hero Path South Kent School’s education program stresses rigorous academics and
personal transformation, drawing out the hero within each young man to
foster and develop knowledge, courage and strength of character. We call
this the Hero Path and it serves as the fundamental building block towards
future success in college, one’s career and family.
Academic Excellence The focal point of each boy’s Hero Path is based on rigorous academic,
physical, and spiritual challenges tailored to the individual student. Our goal
is to place each young man into the best college or university that meets his
needs.
Technology South Kent’s unprecedented integration of 21st-century technology into
the classroom places us as the leader among prep schools. (See article on

Creativity South Kent encourages students to discover, improve upon and showcase
new creative talents through a variety of outlets. Dramatic performances,
art, musical theater, dance, and multi-media programs enable students to
explore and develop talents in a productive and nurturing environment.
Center for Innovation (CFI) A 130-acre, hands-on outdoor laboratory, the CFI was designed to solve
real world problems with a focus on the future for sustainability, applied
