I have many opportunities at Portledge, which is something I love about the school. I love our campus because it is very college-like and due to this, the students have a lot of responsibilities, some examples would be having everything we need before walking across campus and scheduling meetings with teachers. Portledge has many pros, but just like any institution, there are also cons. Being an black student at Portledge, a prominently white school, I feel that most of the students are blind to what the (very few) minorities at the school face. I wouldn't say that we face racism, but we have to deal with not being able to say certain things or be our full selves because most of the students there do not understand. I feel that Portledge's curriculum (and other private schools) could be improved by including more modern events that impact some of the students that attend the school. Overall, Portledge is a great place with a great learning environment and I do not plan on leaving!
Portledge has lead by example in New York State what 21st Century Technology is through Synchronous Virtual Online Learning during Covid-19. My children did not miss one hour of class time. Every day, every class was lead via zoom with their teacher (exceptional faculty) along with their classmates on their laptops. EXCEPTIONAL...Bar none!
My child transitioned this year to the lower school from another local private school and couldn’t be happier! The teachers are engaged, enthusiastic and caring and genuinely seem to enjoy what they are doing. My child is excited for each day and can’t wait to share what she’s learned at pick up in the afternoon. Teachers communicate what is going on in the classroom and frequently reach out with feedback on my child’s experiences at school. The headmaster seems to be beloved by faculty and parents and appears committed to growing the community with thoughtfulness and care. He is accessible and present in the community. This place is truly special! I highly recommend Portledge
