    SOUTH KENT, Conn. — To get to this remote town from New York City, one has to drive upstate on Routes 684 and 22, through Putnam and Dutchess Counties, cross the Connecticut border and wind past places like the Harlem Valley-Wingdale train station, Big W’s Roadside BBQ and Ken’s Bait & Tackle Shop.

    Once you cross a covered bridge and make your way up Bulls Bridge Road, a large white sign appears that reads “South Kent School — Founded 1923.”

    There are no McDonald’s, Burger Kings or Papa John’s anywhere in sight. No concrete buildings or sidewalks . And the the bucolic prep school campus of 150 students doesn’t include girls, either.

    Read the full epic at SNY.
