Since 1943 the Summer Program has introduced young students to the unique spirit of education that has always been a part of Portsmouth Abbey School. The success of this program in helping young people reach their academic and personal goals (all while having a good measure of fun) is rooted in the celebration of learning, the nurturing of the moral sense that lies within us all, the awakening in each student of their sense of self through participation in enrichment activities, and the importance of athletics and physical activity in fostering a healthy sense of the body. We know young people do best and learn the most when surrounded by caring adults in a safe environment. Our goal is that all these elements will help our students on their paths toward wisdom, an appreciation of the fullness of experience, and greater success in school.
