Registration (Saturday Class)

We offer a discount on tuition during our Fall Early Registration period (June and August.) Another option for attendance is Long Term Registration. Since curriculum builds on previous semesters and becomes increasingly challenging, we recommend that students pursue their course of study throughout the year. For those who are willing to commit long-term to our program (fall-to-spring or spring-to-fall), we offer a long-term discount in addition to the early registration discount.

Admission Test

Every student who wishes to enroll at Kent Prep must take our admission test. This test helps us place students in an appropriately challenging environment without overwhelming them. Our admission test is given free of charge; students who wish to register with us may take the test at anytime. After the test is graded and scored, the student will be scheduled for a personal interview with our director to discuss the results.
