Miss Porter’s School
Impact on Faculty and Staff
30
71% of teaching faculty live on campus. Because of generous donors, MPS was able to acquire a new property at 113 Garden Street that will provide additional faculty housing.
41 hours of dedicated internal faculty development time was provided to each faculty member, including professional days, a weekly professional development (PD) slot and faculty meetings.
2 faculty members receive a grant each year from the endowed Cravens Fund for Teachers’ Summer Sabbatical to travel abroad. Miao Hwang traveled to Taipei, Taiwan, and Kelly Woodbury took an educational trip to France.
82% of faculty hold advanced degrees. Endowed funds for faculty support provide a critical resource to underwrite salaries and support professional development, which helps ensure Miss Porter’s School is able to attract and retain world-class faculty.
“We know that great teaching doesn’t just happen without collaboration, training and reflection, and while other schools maybe have 1–2 PD days per year, at Miss Porter’s we set aside time every day for faculty to work together on their curricula and on their craft. Ultimately, this investment of time pays dividends for student learning.” Timothy Quinn Chief Academic Officer and Dean of Faculty & Ellen Stuart Poole ’26 Academic Chair
