Kent Place depends on the support of alumnae, parents, friends
and community members who believe in its mission of providing an
educationally challenging program for girls and young women.
The hallmarks of Kent Place education—excellence,
leadership, tradition, lasting friendships—continue
to define Kent Place today. Kent Place alumnae believe in
giving back to their alma mater. In 2008-2009, 31
percent of our alumnae made gifts to the school in support
of the Annual Fund. Your gift can make a powerful statement:
it sustains the tradition in excellence that is Kent Place.
