We expect Porter's graduates to shape a changing world, and have developed a curriculum inside the classroom, on the playing field, and in the dormitory that supports this expectation.

Porter's academic curriculum focuses on the essential languages of our age—science, mathematics, technology, ethics, communications, historical understanding, the arts, literature, and global languages. Our students develop leadership skills through participation in student government, social service, experiential education and many community-building activities on campus.

Sarah Porter said of her students, “They came as girls; they left as women.” The same could be said of today’s Porter's students. A Porter’s education will challenge you. It will build your confidence and competence, and strengthen your ability to collaborate and compete in the exciting world that lies ahead when you leave Porter’s as a young woman.
