A MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL
Dear Portledge Community, The 2025–2026 school year was one of remarkable growth, achievement, and momentum for Portledge School. As I reflect on all we accomplished together, I am filled with gratitude for the generosity and partnership that continue to strengthen our community. This year, we welcomed one of the largest groups of new students in our school’s history, celebrated accomplishments in athletics, robotics, the arts, and academics, and launched our Strategic Plan, Forging Pathways to Excellence. Through each milestone, our students, faculty, staff, and families demonstrated the values that define Portledge: Kindness, Honor, Purpose, and Respect. At the heart of every Portledge experience are the relationships between our students and teachers. Day after day, our faculty inspire curiosity, nurture confidence, and challenge students to think deeply, create boldly, and grow into their best selves.
Portledge as “more than a school... a second home built out of care, patience, and a love so steady that it outlasts every grade we’ve received, every mistake we’ve made, and every hardship we’ve carried quietly.” Her words capture what makes Portledge special: a community where students are known, supported, and encouraged to pursue their passions with confidence. Your generosity also makes possible the extraordinary opportunities that distinguish a Portledge education—from innovative classroom resources and dynamic arts programming to championship athletics, student leadership experiences, and meaningful community traditions. Every gift contributes to an environment where students can thrive. Thank you for your commitment to Portledge and for helping us prepare the next generation of thoughtful leaders, engaged citizens, and compassionate human beings. With heartfelt appreciation,
Your support of the Portledge Fund helps ensure that our teachers remain at the forefront of education through meaningful professional development opportunities, including training in emerging technologies and artificial intelligence. By investing in our educators, you are investing directly in the quality of every student’s experience. We concluded the year by celebrating the Class of 2026, a thoughtful and accomplished group whose impact will be felt for years to come. At the Senior Dinner, Nia G. described

2025-2026 BOARD OF TRUSTEES
DEAR PORTLEDGE COMMUNITY, Thank you for your generous support of Portledge School throughout the 2025–2026 academic year. I am continually inspired by the commitment of our community to providing an exceptional experience for every student. Your support of the Portledge Fund strengthens our academic programs, enriches student life, and reinforces the values of Kindness, Honor, Purpose, and Respect that define our school. As I write this, I am reminded of a sentiment I shared during the Class of 2026 Commencement: behind every graduate is a community that helped bring them to that moment—parents who encouraged them, teachers who inspired them, coaches who challenged them, and friends who stood beside them. The accomplishments of this remarkable class reflect the strength of that community and the opportunities made possible through your generosity. Your support helps students discover their passions, build resilience, develop character, and pursue their futures with confidence and curiosity. This year, the Portledge Fund & Gala supported meaningful enhancements across campus, including improvements to the Black Box Theatre, expanded off-campus opportunities for our Jazz Band, a new athletics app for streamlined communication, a new scorer’s table in the Chen Center, and additional events that brought students, families, and faculty together. I have also enjoyed watching Lower School World Day continue to grow and evolve since my three children, now in college and the Upper School, first participated years ago. These experiences enrich our students’ lives in ways that extend far beyond the classroom. We also launched our Strategic Plan, Forging Pathways to Excellence, a bold vision for the future of Portledge. Guided by innovation, emerging opportunities in artificial intelligence, and our community’s experiences, this plan ensures that our mission remains both enduring and forward-looking. None of this would be possible without your partnership and belief in our school. As I conclude my first term as President of the Board of Trustees, I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve this extraordinary community. On behalf of the Board, thank you for investing in Portledge and helping create opportunities for more than 500 students each day.
Warm regards, Lindsey Barnett President, Board of Trustees

MISSION Portledge School is an independent, prenursery through twelfth grade preparatory day school. The school’s coordinated sequential programs, beginning with the Reggio Emilia program in Early Childhood, provide a rigorous academic environment, preparing students to live responsible and productive lives. Dedicated teachers use small class size to deliver knowledge based on inquiry and inspired by a student-centered learning approach. Individual talents are nurtured through the arts, athletics, and a variety of community and travel programs that all emphasize the Portledge Pillars of Kindness, Honor, Purpose and Respect.
