If you’re passionate about making a difference, but have no idea where to start, then take the first step, and join us on the beautiful Miss Porter’s School campus for our Summer Program, Shaping a Changing World: Girls as Activists, Innovators and Leaders
Our middle school Summer Programs are designed to provide middle school girls (current 5th through 8th graders) with the opportunity to experience the Porter’s academic, artistic, athletic and residential curriculum. Girls will experience the Porter’s community while learning lifelong leadership skills from the leader in girls’ education. Girls thrive in our supportive and collaborative environment where curiosity and confidence are encouraged, and they complete their programs with greater understanding of all they can accomplish as informed, bold, resourceful, ethical, global citizens.
Are you a creative teacher who wants to help transform education and are comfortable embracing change? Do you want to work to help create the next generation of female leaders? Do you want to do it in an innovative and supportive environment with colleagues who work hard and love to have fun? If so, then we want you at Miss Porter’s!
Miss Porter’s School strives to educate girls to shape a changing world. One of the ways MPS accomplishes this goal is through an Internship Program for seniors. Last spring, now Ancients, Ella Hough ’21 and Lauren Uhl ’21 joined IBM Canada’s STEM for Girls Program through a partnership with #IBMCanada and The International Women’s Forum (IWF).

Each year, the University of Chicago invites incoming students to recommend a professional who has “played a significant role in their education, made a positive impact in their lives, and whose influence has brought them to where they are today.” Then it chooses those who will receive its annual Outstanding Educator award.
