Rooted in Marzano's High Reliability Schools model, our instructional practices focus on mastery of skills and natural progression through the curriculum at each grade level and course. Porter County Education Services provides specialized services to our students to meet their unique needs from pre-kindergarten all the way through the 12th grade. Our partnership with the Porter County Career Center allows our juniors and seniors the opportunity to explore career paths and earn certifications that put them on the path to success following graduation. Our high school students also have the opportunity to set themselves up for success by taking Advanced Placement and dual credit programs that prepare our students for their academic career at the collegiate level. Our partnerships with countless community organizations enrich the curriculum with school visits, presentations, field trips, and more that further enhance our students' academic experience.
