Student Experience

In a community that is purposefully small, Kents Hill crafts an environment where students are able to be their authentic selves, discover their truest potential, and make meaningful connections that will last a lifetime.

Whether it's participating in athletics or afternoon activity, hanging out with friends in the Student Center, or being a part of a student-led club, the Student Life Team is focused on building a student experience that is inclusive, varied, and fun.

Advisory Program

Kents Hill connections last a lifetime. From the moment students arrive on campus, they are welcomed into a small group led by a dedicated advisor who becomes one of the most important adults in their lives. Advisors are listeners, mentors, advocates, and guides, helping students celebrate achievements, navigate challenges, and make choices that shape their future.

Wellbeing

Wellbeing is no longer an add-on or nice to have, it's an integral part of the Kents Hill experience. In addition to supports and resources provided by the Health Center, students regularly connect with a number of trusted adults across campus - including their advisor, teachers, coaches, activity leaders, and more - to develop skills and know when and how to ask for help.

Home Away from Home

Our five residential dorm communities - Reed Hall, Maine Hall, Sampson Hall, Davis Hall, and Wesleyan Hall - serve as a "home away from home" for students to find community, safety, comfort, and joy. A number of dorm parents and families (and pets!) call the dorms home.

Experiential Learning

Kents Hill students are unapologetically grounded in Maine, and connected to the world. We offer a number of opt-in trips and activities throughout the year - everything from service learning in Louisiana to cultural immersion in Costa Rica - as well as bring partnerships, speakers, and experiences directly to campus.
