Undefeated: the Cardinals have done it again! By going undefeated through their season, for the third time since 2011, South Kent Prep Soccer has proven that they have what it takes to go toe to toe against the top teams in the country, and dominate. This 19-0 season represents the 4th National Championship, the 9th New England Championship and the 12th Western New England Regular Season Championship for the school.

What better way is there to learn about and understand history than to live it? The annual Galileo Trial at South Kent School has students reenact trials based on the Decree of 1616 forbidding Galileo from spreading his ideas supporting Copernican heliocentrism and the subsequent 1633 trial of Galileo by the Roman Inquisition.

South Kent School is happy to announce that Jon Hutcheon has been promoted to Director of Hockey Operations!  With his drive and dedication, both to South Kent School and to the hockey program, we are very excited to have Jon at the helm. 

This past weekend our Prep Soccer team finished out their undefeated 2019 season as the Western New England Regular Season Champions, New England Class B Champions, and Top Drawer Soccer Prep School National Champions. For most of the players this would have been the best day of their year, however for one student, a few days earlier may have been even more important. On Thursday, November 14th Prep Soccer student-athlete Hassane Diakho made his commitment official as he signed his National Letter of Intent (NLI) to study and play Division I soccer at Lehigh University.

Signing Day is always an exciting time of year for student-athletes as it marks the first time that they can officially commit to the colleges that have been pursuing them. This year Joshua Reaves was happy to sign his commitment to play for Division I Mount St. Mary’s University.

In honor of South Kent School’s founding on this day 96 years ago, Father Schell, the Headmaster of Kent School, joined us in St. Michael’s Chapel. Father Schell discussed the role of Reverend Frederick Herbert Sill, founder and former headmaster of Kent School, and two Kent alumni, Samuel Slater Bartlett and Richard M. Cuyler, in the founding of South Kent School. Of note to Father Schell was the importance in his own early years as a headmaster, of Reverend Sill’s “Letters to Sam”, a collection of words of advice from Sill to Bartlett as “Sam” navigated his early time as founder and headmaster of South Kent School.

South Kent School has opened for its 96th year with 165 students from 22 countries and 21 American states. Families were welcomed to the Hillside on Wednesday, September 4, 2019 for Registration Day.
