Kent School is a private, co-educational college preparatory school in Kent, Connecticut, United States. The Reverend Frederick Herbert Sill, Order of the Holy Cross, established the school in 1906 and it retains its affiliation with the Episcopal Church of the United States. Students at Kent come from more than 40 foreign countries and nearly as many states.〔http://www.kent-school.edu/about-kent/kent-at-a-glance〕 Situated between the Appalachian Trail and the Housatonic River, the campus currently serves 570 students, about 520 of whom board. The school was one of the first New England boarding schools to educate both young men and women in 1960.〔http://www.kent-school.edu/about-kent/our-history〕 Kent School Boat Club also became the first American school crew to row at British Henley Royal Regatta and compete for the Thames Challenge Cup in 1927.〔http://www.rowinghistory.net/Time%20Line/TL%201900-1949im.htm〕 Kent is a member of the Founders League of New England preparatory schools which consists of, among others, Choate Rosemary Hall, Hotchkiss School, Trinity Pawling School and The Taft School.〔http://www.admissionsquest.com/cfm_Public/pg_SchlSearchListDetail.cfm/StoredSchlSearchID/135/search/Founders-League Founders League Schools〕 As of the 2014-2015 school year, the school has an enrollment of 570 students and a student-teacher ratio of 7:1.〔name=Kent at a Glance (). Accessed January 13, 2015.〕 ==History== Born in New York City on March 10, 1874, Father Reverend Frederick Herbert Sill attended Columbia University and the General Theological Seminary. He was a monk of the Order of the Holy Cross and in 1906 he saw the need for a school where "young men with slender means could gain an education second to none." Unlike the traditional boarding schools of the day that were reserved for the wealthy American elite, Kent School would serve young men whose parents could not afford the alternative. Father Sill led the school for the first thirty-five years of its existence. In the ensuing years, four headmasters have led Kent. Father Schell, the current Headmaster and Rector, graduated from Kent in 1969 and studied at Harvard (A.B. '73) and Yale (M.Div. '76) before returning to Kent as Chaplain. He was appointed Headmaster in 1981. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kent School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
