Even though you may have a Kent mailing address or live within the school district, you may not live within the Kent City Limits. We ask for you understanding when registering.

Please Note
All programs are subject to change. In addition, a program may cancel due to low enrollment, if this happens, a full refund will be issued within two weeks of cancellation.
