Upper School
Our upper school students combine academic curiosity and emotional intelligence to seek answers through critical thinking and problem-solving as they continue to gain knowledge through an ever-expanding global academic lens.
Welcome to the Portledge Upper School!
Our rigorous academic program empowers students in grades 9-12 to develop the skills, knowledge, and critical thinking necessary to excel at Portledge and beyond. It’s a place where our students’ achievement is rooted in confidence. With a variety of course options—including the challenging International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme—our students gain a competitive edge in college admissions and future success.
Portledge is a place where opportunity drives passion, and our students have a plethora of opportunities to pursue their extracurricular interests, whether in athletics, the performing arts, or any number of clubs that current students often create.
Every student develops important relationships with both peers and adults at Portledge, and kindness is a pillar of our community. These relationships built on our pillars of kindness, honor, purpose, and respect are what make Portledge a warm and inclusive environment. Every Upper Schooler has an Advisor that they meet with daily to review the special activities of the day but also to make sure that each student is getting the most out of their time here. Each student also has a Dean to help them navigate their academic path, the student life opportunities that abound here, and the college admissions process. The Portledge Upper School is a place where being known inspires growth.
This comprehensive, well-rounded approach ensures that our students are academically prepared and develop the confidence and resilience needed for lifelong achievement.
Skills of critical thinking, creative problem solving, collaboration, and mastery of technology are evident in the lessons and visible in the classrooms. Traditional learning is combined with integrated projects, authentic assessments, and student-centered initiatives to prepare students for the challenges both in college and beyond.
