At Kents Hill, Maine is not just where we are — it is who we are. Our 400-acre campus, with its ski and snowboard trails, wooded paths, and quiet lakefront, gives every student room to grow in confidence, character, and joy. Here, students learn resilience on the mountain, curiosity in the forest, and balance by the water — lessons that stay with them for life.
And because our work is to prepare students for the world they will lead, their journey does not stop at the edge of campus. Internships, community partnerships, and global programs open doors to new perspectives and possibilities. Students leave Kents Hill grounded in place and in values, ready to thrive anywhere.
We believe that as a community we can make our school, and the world, a better place. Get a sense of what life at Kents Hill is really like by following us on Facebook and Instagram.
Kents Hill’s renewed Core Values highlight the strength of our community and the shared commitment to learning and growth. Developed collaboratively by students and faculty over many months, these values reflect what truly matters on The Hill and are meant to be lived, not just stated. The school is proud to share these guiding principles with the entire community.
On October 10, Kents Hill students gathered for the annual Learning Exhibition, sharing projects with alumni, families, and peers across campus. In this spotlight, Adrian P. and Madison G. '26 reflect on the creativity, collaboration, and confidence-building that shaped the day.
We’re thrilled to share that Kents Hill has been recognized by Niche as Maine’s top boarding high school for the third consecutive year. This achievement celebrates the strength of our community, the vision of our leadership, and the incredible students who make Kents Hill such a special place to live and learn.
