Kent School in Media
The book (and 1999 film adaptation) Outside Providence is a fictionalized account of Peter Farrelly's experiences at the school.
The animated TV show Family Guy is written by alumnus Seth MacFarlane. In 1999, the school's headmaster, Father Schell, wrote to a number of companies urging them not to advertise with the TV show calling it obnoxious. Seth MacFarlane's parents, who worked at the school, resigned in protest.

“Main Street was never the same. I read Gide and tried to
translate Proust. Now nothing is real except French wine.

“The problem for the King is just how strict
The lack of liberty, the squeeze of the law
And discipline should be in school and state....”
