We’re thrilled to announce that our curriculum for this summer will be updated with new material to enhance engagement and results. On top of mastering concepts needed to boost scores, students taking the new digital format of the SAT will additionally learn invaluable techniques needed to maximize scores using the Bluebook testing app.
2023 Residential Program
The Kent Prep residential summer program offers 3 weeks of unparalleled test preparation with instructors at the top of their field. Test strategy instruction, stamina building, tutoring, and group study contribute to an impressive jump in each student’s test score. The class schedule is intensive, often consisting in eight hours of daily instruction, and the results match the effort put forth by the instructors and students.
While students generally improve their SAT scores by 200–400 points and ACT scores by 5-10 points, students also learn the latest insights and insider expertise from admission counselors about how to succeed in the application process. This consultation component of the program is designed to give students expert guidance on choosing the best schools for their unique profiles and to provide actionable feedback on how to improve chances of getting admitted to them.
However, what makes Kent Prep truly unique is the profound development of Character, Aptitude, and Passion (CAP) to establish an environment of positive reinforcement and encouragement. Students learn crucial social networking skills and make friends from all over the world. Within a few days into the program, students find themselves genuinely invested in their own success and the success of their classmates.
Join us for an unforgettable summer and enter our lifelong network of phenomenal peers!

“I reside in California and I am always in a hunt for the best for my daughters when it comes to their education. I found Kent Prep and I can’t say enough about Kent! It is an amazing test prep center for students to maximize their potential. My daughter had an opportunity to attend their summer program and I was blown away. The staff are very knowledgeable, professional and dedicated to their passion to teach. She has met wonderful friends from all over the world! We received helpful advice during my daughter’s early decision application process and I can’t thank them enough! My daughter did get into the school of her dreams!!! She is headed to Barnard in New York City! Thank you Kent Prep!!!”

“This year at Kent, I learned that I could push myself past the boundaries. I was able to excel beyond what I thought was possible academically while meeting some of the most amazing people along the way. In other words, I learned so much about my study habits and what it takes to work more efficiently. Kent taught me that confidence is necessary to achieve success. I accomplished goals that I didn’t even believe I could achieve. I now realize that the fate of the future rests in my own hands.”
