Kent Place second-graders have been studying the people, animals, and geographies of our world’s continents — as they are today and from many years ago — as part of their science and social studies curricula, and this week they went on an exciting field trip that would bring their lessons to life. Equipped with their backpacks, notebooks, and adventurous spirits, the girls visited the Museum of Natural History, in New York City.
Tennis
The Middle and Upper School Dragons will be playing on new courts this fall, and we expect to host some of the very best tennis in the state!
A perennial powerhouse in the Union County, state, and private school leagues, the KPS varsity team is a wonder on the courts. Our program promotes a culture of excellence, athleticism, and sportsmanship.
Through conditioning, on-court drills, and interscholastic matches, players improve their strokes and develop an imposing repertoire of shots. The varsity team competes in the traditional three singles and two doubles matches; our JV and Middle School teams compete in doubles matches.
