Traditions That Span Generations
We kick off each new school year with Fall Welcome, where we celebrate our latest class of New Girls, welcoming them to their new home in Farmington.
Porter’s traditions are a meaningful way for current students and generations of Ancients to unite as a community, build school spirit and find a shared sense of belonging.
Honoring tradition doesn’t mean staying stuck in the past. At Porter’s, we evolve old traditions and create new ones to make sure they remain engaging and meaningful for today’s students.
Our students and faculty come together for regular Sit-Down Dinners. These formal family-style meals are a chance to connect and celebrate the diversity of our community.
As graduation nears, students take part in time-honored Porter’s traditions such as Singing in the Garden and Little Meeting.

Connect Off Campus
When you’re ready to venture beyond campus, our weekend activity shuttles offer trips to places such as local shopping centers, movie theaters, museums and restaurants. Porter’s also belongs to a consortium of area schools that host joint events like socials, performances, carnivals, concerts and local trips. As a Porter’s student, you’ll find that Farmington is a small town with big opportunities.
