Arts
Whether in the studio or on the stage, art is all around us at Kents Hill. The Art Department’s mission is to provide all students with opportunities to develop their appreciation for the arts. Kents Hill offers variety, depth, and growth to every student and nurtures creative environments in which students feel safe, supported, and challenged. All students must complete two years of art (including 1/2 credit visual arts and 1/2 credit performing arts) to meet Kents Hill’s graduation requirements.
