Student Life at Portledge

Follow this blog for regular updates on student life at Portledge.
Portledge introduced four deans to the Upper School program in 2022, creating what has become known to students as the Dean Team. Shelly Kaye, Shoshana Krieger-Joven, R.J. Liberto, and Eden White work together to enhance initiatives in Community Service, Character Formation, Student Leadership, and Student enjoyment, which are also part of the three-year Strategic Plan. The deans also play an instrumental role in College Counseling, working with the Director of College Counseling and students beginning their freshman year. 

This Student Life page will serve as a blog, curated by the Dean Team, to offer a glimpse into the traditions, community, and curriculum that make Portledge so unique.

  • The Portledge CoffeeHouse

    by Eden White, Dean of Community Engagement
    This year, Portledge introduced four deans to the Upper School, creating what has become known to students as the Dean Team: Greg Barton, Shelly Kaye, Shoshana Kreiger-Joven, and Eden White. This new program was put in place out of a desire to maintain what is so special about Portledge. To that end, the Deans have helped enhance initiatives in Community Service, Character Formation, Student Leadership, and Student enjoyment, all of which are also part of the three-year Strategic Plan. 

    The implementation of Upper School CoffeeHouses has been a huge success. Eden White gives us a front-row seat to this newly beloved student event.
