Portledge School
Portledge is an independent, pre-nursery through twelfth grade coeducational, college-preparatory day school.
The School`s coordinated sequential program provides an academically excellent education that prepares students for responsible and productive lives.
Dedicated teachers, small class size, and a warm and personal atmosphere combine to advance high moral standards and individual accomplishments.
Our teachers understand that for middle schoolers this is a time of self-exploration and self-definition. They teach and coach the whole child and understand their critical role in helping young adolescents develop confidence and become more independent.
Middle schoolers are constantly changing, and our teachers themselves are energized by this.

Our children, once quiet preschoolers, were shaped into confident and capable young adults at Portledge. The wonderful atmosphere of the school, which more resembled an extended family, fosters a sense of personal growth and achievement mixed with responsibility for others and stewardship for our ever-smaller world. Their Portledge education has served them well as they excelled at college and now study medicine. Thank you Portledge!

I graduated in the class of ''94. My years at Portledge greatly prepared me for every challenge and success in life since then.
