The team at the Ethics Institute welcomed experts, thought leaders, teachers, and school administrators to take part in ethical dialogue with parents through a series of workshops.
Academics
We energize students with a challenging and relevant course of study in an environment attuned to best practices that inspire girls.
We know that students learn best when curriculum, pedagogy, and content honor students’ identities and support them as they grow in those identities. We believe that the best education for girls and young women is an environment in which all students discover their strengths and are empowered to see themselves as leaders — in and beyond the classroom.
Our Academic Approach
At Kent Place, we prioritize interdisciplinary learning that is proactive, responsive, and flexible and that promotes self-confidence, self-advocacy, and healthy risk-taking. Our curriculum and programs are rich in opportunities for students to develop ethical decision making, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. We promote integrity, initiative, and inclusion throughout all of the schooling years, as well as in our classroom conversations, assignments, reflective moments, and commitment toward understanding and including differing perspectives.
Prepared for the Future
We know our students as complete human beings, help them explore their goals and ambitions, and ensure that their next step allows them to flourish. We work with students at every phase of the college process: developing a balanced college list, providing workshops on essay writing and interviewing techniques, reviewing applications, and everything in between. The results: The Class of 2023 will attend 47 colleges (40 private, 7 public) in 19 states, the District of Columbia, and England.
