On Friday, April 29th students participated in our Spring 2022 Learning Exhibition. Kents Hill School’s 4D Curriculum Framework places heavy emphasis on students frequently engaging in both academic- and character-based reflection. Students reflect on the learning that transpires in their classes and, on a larger scale, as part of such school-wide experiences as our semester examination sequences. The Learning Exhibition is a culmination of this work.
Invited guests included teachers, students, administrators, and visiting families who circulated through the Bodman Performing Arts Center and other spaces and participate in a series of conversations about the examples of student work on display.
