The success of The Campaign for Kent Place School will depend upon the loyalty and support of the entire Kent Place community. By the close of the Campaign in 2009, every member of the entire constituency - parents, alumnae, grandparents and friends - will have been approached for their participation in a project that will provide the finest environment in which to teach and honor our students and faculty every day.

The hallmarks of a Kent Place education - loyalty, excellence, leadership, tradition and lasting friendships - continue to define Kent Place today. The Kent Place community understands the importance of supporting the school and we have already raised in excess of $23 million. Your gift, large or small, will make a vital difference as we strive to exceed our $25 million goal. We can do it, with your help!
