Portledge in the Now.

Honoring Tradition

In May 1965, the trustees of the Alice K. Coffin Fund, Inc. gave 63 acres of the Alice S. Coffin estate, Portledge, and all the buildings on this land, to the adjoining Miss Stoddart’s School for Very Little People to establish a coeducational college preparatory day school.

In September 1965, sixty years ago, Portledge School opened under the guidance of Headmistress Mary Jonathan, with 100 children enrolled in Nursery through 2nd Grade. 

Since its inception, Portledge has expanded enrollment and facilities, broadened its academic programs, and identified strong educational leaders, all in furtherance of its reputation for excellence.

The vision of those at the helm over its years – Mary Johnathan, David Staples, Huson Gregory, Steven Hahn, and Simon Owen-Williams – has led Portledge to create a rigorous academic program preparing students for entrance into elite colleges and universities while maintaining the community feel established during the school’s inception.

At present, Portledge is a community of approximately 535 students in Pre-Nursery through 12th Grade. 

Today, Portledge is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools, the New York State Association of Independent Schools, the Green Schools Alliance, and the College Board. Portledge has its absolute charter granted by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York, is accredited by the New York State Association of Independent Schools, and is registered as an approved, accredited secondary school by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York. Portledge is also accredited as an International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme School.
