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.
Clubs and Organizations
a powerful voice in the daily life of the school.
Students participate in a variety of organizations and clubs, building self-esteem as well as interpersonal and leadership skills.
Primary School
Learning happens everywhere. That's why we offer a full slate of clubs and performance groups, including Eco-Team, Math Lab, Kaleidoscopes (an affinity group for students of color), Tap Ensemble, and Hummingbirds Chorus.
These programs give shape and meaning to the time students spend outside of class, build camaraderie, and give students their first experience as both a leader and a member of a community.
Some PS offerings:
- Chorus: The Hummingbirds
- Dance Ensemble
- Eco-Team
- Math Madness
