Teaching at Miss Porter's School

Page 3

Our innovative approach to teaching and learning: Competency-based Mastery Learning - We prioritize process over product and growth over grades. Our students develop skills in core competencies they will need to live meaningful and productive lives. Interdisciplinary Courses - We offer Advanced Interdisciplinary Seminars where students address timeless questions while working to understand and solve today’s pressing problems. Authentic, Project-based Assessment - We challenge students to “show what they know” through projects and Demonstrations of Learning, instead of traditional tests and exams. Experiential Education - Our curriculum extends beyond our campus in Farmington. We develop global intensive courses that include international travel for all students. Our professional experience courses place students in the working world.
