Institutes: Learning Beyond the ClassroomOur academic institutes introduce girls grades 7-9 to the key tenets of the Miss Porter’s School learning environment, which are interdisciplinary in nature and global in scope. In each institute, girls investigate the world beyond their immediate environment, recognize their own and other’s perspectives, learn to communicate their ideas effectively across a diverse audience, and take action to contribute to a more just and sustainable world. Our commitment to experiential learning combines content with real world experiences. Girls learn beyond the classroom by conducting field research, interacting with leaders in their respective fields, and developing skills through real world application and hands-on experience. |
