The School
Kent College is a Christian school, although it accepts pupils of all faiths - and none. Originally established as a boys' school, it took girls into the sixth form in 1973, and since 1975 it has been fully co-educational. Kent College has thirteen independent "sister schools" in Great Britain - most of which are co-educational; three, including Kent College, Pembury, are all-girls schools - whose shared ethos and similar characteristics may be attributed to their common position within the Methodist Church.
The school's motto is "Lux tua via mea": which means "Your light is my way".
"Come on, K.C.!":
Kent College is typically referred to colloquially as "K.C." by pupils, staff and Old Canterburians; by the same token, Vernon Holme is regularly abbreviated to "V.H.".

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“There is nothing intrinsically better about a child who happily bounces off to school the first day and a child who is wary, watchful, and takes a longer time to separate from his parents and join the group. Neither one nor the other is smarter, better adjusted, or destined for a better life.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
“East, west, north, south, or like a school broke up,
Each hurries toward his home and sporting-place.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
