Porters is amazing and I love every aspect of my school life here. Classes and sports programs here have all supported me and helped me grow. Porters is very considerate towards international students, there are airport shuttles, and we were allowed to stay on campus during November break as well.

I feel that Porter's is unlike any other school I have attended. I have been able to find my people quickly after my first year here and have enjoyed my freshman experience. The teachers are excellent and passionate about the courses and most of my peers have been positive and open-minded.

My favorite part of Porter's is the community. I love all the people there and how close people are. Another one of my favorite things is that you can try new sports if you want to and everyone is so inviting and welcoming to you.

I attended Miss Porter's and sent my daughter there. If she were starting high school now, I would not send her. The new academic calendar is ridiculous and academics have declined. No longer does the school offer Intermission which was one of the things that made Porter's special. The girls do not...

Miss Porters is an excellent school. The academics are strong. The classes run on trimesters which means the students get to work intensely at only several courses at a time which enriches the educational experience. The teachers and entire staff have been outstanding and very responsive. The girls...
