Kent School
Kent School is an independent (private) co-ed prep school in Kent, Connecticut established in 1906 by The Reverend Frederick Herbert Sill, a member of the monastic Order of the Holy Cross. It has 550 students, of whom about 93% are boarders. Kent's mascot is the Lion, and its motto is Temperantia, Fiducia, Constantia, a not-quite-accurate Latin translation of "Life, Directness of Purpose, Self-Reliance." It is located in a picturesque setting with mountains rising behind its playing fields. Kent School has had five headmasters: Reverend Sill 1906-1941, William S. Chalmers 1941-??, Fr. John O. Patterson ??-??, Sidney N. Towle ??-1981, and Fr. Richerdson W. Schell 1981-present. In 1960, a girls' campus was constructed a few miles up the hill from the grounds. In 1992, campus consolidation was completed and the girls now have dorms on main campus. Notable graduates include Ted Danson, Seth MacFarlane, and Cyrus Vance.
