AND THE OSCAR GOES TO ... This year, at the Kents Hill Film Festival, where students showcase their movies made in Digital Film-Making, students and faculty voted a Kents Hill Oscar to be awarded to Sam Hutchison '08 for Livin' Free - a unique perspective of the Kents Hill campus.  To watch this movie, click here.

Students can pursue the visual arts to three different Advanced Placement levels: Drawing, 2D and 3D. Student artists participate in multiple gallery shows a year, both on campus in the Hilltop Gallery and in the local area. Each year, senior arts students apply and are accepted to the best art schools in the country, including the Rhode Island School of Design, Savannah College of Art, and Mass College of Art.
