Learning in the Lowcountry.
Our 80 acre campus provides the perfect backdrop for learning about the rich culture of the Lowcountry.
Loving Where You Live.
Nestled against the marsh between the Ashley River and Wappoo Cut, Porter-Gaud students have a beautiful place to call home.
Supportive.

VOICES OF OUR COMMUNITY
“We moved to Charleston from the Northeast, and the entire school community could not have been more welcoming to my family. I am grateful for an easy transition.”
“At PG, I was inspired. That zest for learning that I got at PG stayed with me throughout my graduate work and early career.”
“There is much to learn from the stories of those who came before us – if captured fully and cast in an honest light. There is also no better audience for these stories than children. Their minds are incredibly elastic and, as stewards of the future, they perhaps more than anyone need to learn from the invaluable lessons history has to offer."
“PG not only sparked my interest in the international community but it also taught me how to bridge relationships between people who are different from me.”
“Over the 40 years, the faces may have changed and the campus may have grown, but the level of excellence remained constant for my three sons.”
“Being a service leader meant that I had to be somebody people looked up to. I had to learn new things, be friends with new people, and hear different opinions. Service really helped me open up and come out of my shell."
"That’s what Porter-Gaud is great at - uniting everyone. No matter where you come from or where you live, you’re going to find your friends, and these are the people you’re going to know for the rest of your life.”
“Porter-Gaud instilled in me a strong academic ambition led by passionate faith, which I will carry with me. I am blessed to have such strong academic roots.”
