Academics
From the earliest grades to the Upper School, Porter-Gaud students learn from faculty members whose love of their subject areas is infectious. Lessons are student-centered, interactive, and discussion-based, so students don't just absorb ideas, they question them, discern and define them in their own terms, and apply them to their lives. Curiosity is nurtured as an essential tool in building knowledge and understanding.
A Porter-Gaud education offers students rigorous academics in the core areas of study - English, Math, Science, History, and World Languages (including Chinese, Spanish, Latin, and French) - and an array of opportunities in religion, the arts, technology, and the humanities.
