Very nice to see South Kent School, where I am on the Board, featured in a movie.
The movie is Elevate and it tells the story of four young Africans who come to the U.S. to pursue their dreams of playing in the NBA. Two of the boys become students at South Kent School where they prepare for college and hopefully professional basketball careers. Most of the trailer for the movie shows scenes of the boys at the school. Great stuff.
South Kent School is a college preparatory, all male boarding school located in South Kent, CT (about one hour from New York City). Some students at South Kent School aspire to careers in professional sports, but even if they do not make it they leave the school well educated and men.
I joined the SKS Board because of the project described in this video. This project combines IT technology, education and entrepreneurship in an environmentally sustainable campus. I think it is one of the most noteworthy projects in U.S. education.
