Our classes are designed to bring out the full potential of each student enrolled so they might be better prepared for a life of success and achievement. Nothing is more important to the staff than the focus of the students; this is a very important time for them, often where they begin to outline their lives, and it is our job to make sure they stay on track to achieve their goals.<br/><br/>You will find a variety of classes awaiting your children, ranging from English, Mathematics, and Science, to Art and History, all of which are taught by outstanding teachers with years of experience and a drive for teaching. Core aspects of respect and discipline will also be integrated seamlessly into course lessons, promoting character growth as well as academic growth. We also offer unique classes in physical education, ranging in sports from basketball to archery.<br/><br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://www.nyise.org/pictures/schermbuilding%20_455.jpg)</div><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Porter is proud of its history and success. We have been nominated for awards in several fields, and have received the Most Outstanding School in the Midwest Award for five years running. We are happy to say that this is due to the effort put forth by our very own students, who strive just as hard to bring out the full potential of our staff as well.<br/><br/><br/>We are excited that you have chosen our school to further your child's or children's academics! You have our solemn pledge that our staff will devote themselves to furthering their education, and preparing them for the trials life has to offer so that they may succeed to the best of their abilities.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><div style="text-align: right;"><strong>Sincerely,</strong><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: vivaldi;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 20pt;"><strong>Natalie Winters</strong></span></span><br/><strong>Headmistress,<br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: French Script MT;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 20pt;"><strong>Stephanie West</strong></span></span><br/>Vice-Headmistress</strong></div>
