At Kents Hill School we educate our students in mind, body, and spirit in order to:
- Prepare them for the challenges and opportunities of higher education;
- Help them learn to love and respect themselves and their fellow students, and to care for those in less fortunate circumstances;
- Teach them to be responsible stewards of our natural heritage;
- Remind them that one man or woman of principle can always make a difference.
- To create a stimulating academic community;
- To provide our students with the skills to become life-long learners;
- To build each student's self-esteem;
- To promote regular physical activity and sportsmanship;
- To encourage artistic and creative expression and appreciation for the arts;
- To bring to Kents Hill students from many different racial, ethnic, geographic, and economic backgrounds and to encourage our students to value diversity in our school and society.
