At Portledge, learning in the earliest years is joyful, intentional, and deeply personal. In our Early Childhood and Lower School, curiosity is nurtured, questions are encouraged, and each child is known, supported, and challenged in ways that feel meaningful and age-appropriate. Through hands-on experiences, thoughtful instruction, and strong relationships, students are empowered to explore, take risks, learn from mistakes, and build confidence in who they are as learners and community members. The result is a strong foundation—academically, socially, and emotionally—that sets the stage for a lifelong love of learning.
