Since 1843, Miss Porter's School has partnered tradition with innovation to provide a superior education to young women. Miss Porter's School advocates intellectual curiosity, champions personal excellence, and prioritizes the relationships between students, faculty and Ancients. Our community of scholars, artists, athletes and friends flourishes within an environment of mutual respect, understanding and encouragement. Miss Porter's School continues Sarah Porter’s mission of educating young women to shape the world in which they live. By providing students access to an excellent academic program, a premier arts curriculum, an array of high caliber sports teams, and community service, our graduates are prepared to become the local and global leaders of the future. Yet, Porter's remains a place where girls are supported by a close-knit community of students and faculty. For Porter’s students, Farmington is home.
