The philanthropic spirit is a vital force in the South Kent community. We are so fortunate to have a large and dedicated community of alumni, family, and friends whose generous support and leadership provide the margin of excellence that makes the difference between good and extraordinary. South Kent School is forever indebted to their dedication and commitment.

Your support of South Kent enables us to deliver on our mission and prepare young men to succeed in college and thrive as thoughtful and engaged citizens in a rapidly changing and intensely competitive world. Such gifts are an investment in the future generations of bright and promising leaders, and they are a tribute to our rich and celebrated legacy.

On behalf of the faculty and staff, I thank you for your continued support and involvement, and I look forward to the many successes ahead for South Kent and our students!

Parent Giving

The South Kent Fund is vitally important as it provides unrestricted financial support for all costs associated with the operation of the school in a given year, including:

  • Need Based Financial Aid
  • Faculty Compensation and Professional Development
  • Athletics
  • Student Activities and Clubs
  • Facilities Maintenance
  • Health Services

It helps to bridge the gap between the actual cost of educating a South Kent  student, $70,000,  and what is brought in through tuition and fees.  The more robust the South Kent Fund is, the more it can enhance the quality of the educational experience of each and every student.

We urge you to join the ranks of those who have so faithfully supported the South Kent Fund with regular, sustained and increased giving over the years. The need for expanded Annual Giving support has never been more critical.
