South Kent School

South Kent School is an Episcopal, college-preparatory boarding school for boys in South Kent, Connecticut. It serves high school and post-graduate students, with enrollment between 100 and 200. That small headcount shapes everything. Faculty know every student by name, and academic life and residential life run together in ways a larger school simply cannot manage.

Teaching at South Kent School tends to cross more than one role. A faculty member might teach a core subject, coach a sport, and support dorm life in the same week. Candidates who want more contact with students than a single class period allows will find that structure natural. The school's focus on sustainability, leadership, and service means faculty can shape programs directly, not just deliver lessons.

South Kent reported roughly $11.6 million in revenue and nearly $19 million in net assets in 2023. That base supports steady hiring and consistent pay. Boarding school jobs often include on-campus housing, meals, and health benefits — compensation elements that a salary figure alone does not capture. In Connecticut, where housing costs run high, those extras carry real dollar value.

Open positions span the college-preparatory curriculum, including Spanish, Latin, and English as an Alternative Language. Athletics, residential life, and administrative roles come open as well. The post-graduate program adds staffing needs beyond a standard four-year high school, so hiring can happen across a wider range of schedules than at most day schools.

For candidates weighing boarding versus day school jobs, South Kent's rural northwest Connecticut setting and small community offer close student contact and a clear sense of purpose.
