Kent School is an independent (private school) 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 "Simplicity of Life, Directness of Purpose, Self-Reliance." It is located in a picturesque setting between the Appalachian Trail and the Housatonic River with mountains rising behind its playing fields. ==History== 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. ==Headmasters== *Reverend Sill (1906-1941) *William S. Chalmers (1941-??) *Fr. John O. Patterson (??-??) *Sidney N. Towle (??-1981) *Fr. Richerdson W.
