“When I �rst arrived at Kent, I was under the impression that it would be continuous studying and nothing more. Kent immediately exceeded my expectations, because everyone helped motivate each other and friendships were made quickly. Aside from the positive reassurance and teamwork, I was sincerely impressed with the curriculum. If I could recommend this program to prospective students, I would encourage those who either have or want to hone their work ethics. I encourage students to apply if they genuinely want to do well on the SATs and also make lifelong friendships. If you apply yourself in this course, you will de�nitely succeed. �e teachers were extremely quali�ed. �ey were concise and explained material in detail, and I could not have asked for more.” -Maximillian Umland (New York, United States)

“Kent’s program emphasizes academic excellence and leadership. Students not only achieve high SAT scores that increase by at least 400 points, but they also gain a unique experience through a diverse range of engaging activities such as etiquette training, ballroom dancing, kayaking, and fencing. Kent stands out amongst its competitors by o�ering students an environment geared toward the college way of life.” -Adam Irwin (London, United Kingdom)

“I was looking for a challenge and I came across Kent’s program on their web-site. Kent was exactly what I was looking for: SAT prep and more. My goal was to break a 1550 on the SAT and I achieved that goal. At the beginning of the program, I bonded with campers within just two days! It was so hard to say goodbyes on the last day. I wanted to stay there for the rest of the year. If you are considering Kent’s program, it’s best to remember that while you’re here, you have to work very hard if you want to excel through the program.” -Stephanie Zhou (Beijing, China)
