About Us
Located in central Maine, Kents Hill School is an independent, coeducational boarding and day school grades 9-Postgraduate Year attracting 200 students from Maine, the United States, and around the world. Since 1824, Kents Hill has been dedicated to providing transformative experiences rooted in the power of community, character, and core values.
Kents Hill is a community that I am excited that my daughters are a part of because I know that they are surrounded by students who are inspired to reach their fullest potential, and by adults who are encouraging, supportive, and care deeply about them.
