Class Projects begin the day after Registration in September. This is Kents Hill's way of integrating each class, developing everyone's leadership skills and exploring the beauty of Maine.
My first Class Projects was memorable. It was awkward at first, but the minute you sat down on the buses, you instantly had a friend next to you, behind you, or in front of you. I really liked this week because every new student had the opportunity to meet the returning students and become close with one of them. As a new student it made the experience easier.
