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.

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...
