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.".

“In truth, the legitimate contention is, not of one age or school of literary art against another, but of all successive schools alike, against the stupidity which is dead to the substance, and the vulgarity which is dead to form.”
