Welcome to The Hillside
Since its founding in 1923, South Kent School has been a school that understands the way boys learn. Our faculty and staff are committed to providing the highest quality student experience that builds a deeper connection to learning. Students discover more about themselves when the application of knowledge is required beyond the classroom and carried into real-world experiences. We help students develop both the passion and skill required to pursue their interests.
As a result, our students can discover and take advantage of transformative opportunities that they may have never realized otherwise.
We would personally like to welcome you and congratulate you on taking the first step towards your exciting boarding school journey.
We look forward to seeing you soon on the Hillside or on the road.
