Academics

Portage Township Schools offers strong academic programs that are made to support all kinds of learners. Our teaching is based on the High Reliability Schools model by Marzano, which helps students build skills step by step as they move through each grade level. Students who need extra help can get special support from Porter County Education Services, starting in pre-K and continuing through 12th grade. High school juniors and seniors can take part in programs at the Porter County Career Center, where they can explore different jobs and earn certifications that help them prepare for life after graduation. Students also have the chance to take Advanced Placement (AP) and dual credit classes, which help get them ready for college-level learning. We also work with many community organizations to bring in guest speakers, plan field trips, and host special events that make learning more exciting and meaningful.

A strong and reliable curriculum is the foundation of our students' success. At Portage Township Schools, teachers carefully plan lessons using different types of data to guide instruction. Following Marzano's High Reliability Schools model, our curriculum focuses on building skills step by step. This helps students fully understand what they’re learning and gives them the extra help or challenges they need to succeed. Click below to learn more about our curriculum.
