Getting to know the Miss Porter’s School campus, either in-person or virtually, is an important part of the admissions process. Beginning September 20, students applying for the 2022-23 academic year are invited to visit campus with their families for a tour of the school.
All students applying to Miss Porter’s School must complete an interview. Interviews can be done masked and in-person during one’s visit to campus (as conditions allow) or via Zoom. Students and families who are unable to come to campus will be given a virtual tour of the school prior to their interview. To schedule an in-person and/or virtual visit, please contact the Office of Admission at admission@missporters.org or 860-409-3530.
We require all visitors to fill out a COVID-19 screening form and remain masked for the duration of their visit, regardless of vaccination status. Please note that all on-campus visit policies are subject to change as we continue to monitor best practices for public health.
