In Upper School, girls begin preparing for their lives beyond Kent Place.

Our curriculum is designed to help them fulfill the admission requirements of the most competitive colleges—and be ready for the academic challenges of college once they get there. Each girl has a faculty adviser who assists her in developing her Academic Plan, a four-year schedule of courses that is appropriately challenging and consistent with her strengths and interests. We offer a wide range of Advanced Placement classes every year, and students who wish to pursue an interest in a specific discipline can initiate an independent study with a faculty member. Our graduates leave here with critical thinking, writing and analytical skills, which help them achieve success in the most demanding undergraduate programs, graduate schools and careers.
