Summer Programs
The summer programs, offered to girls entering grades 7 through 9, provide access to most of Porter's facilities and staff.
The Sarah Porter Leadership Institute Level I offers girls the opportunity to "learn, practice and hone" their problem solving, quick thinking, teamwork and trust skills. The Sarah Porter Leadership Institute Level II gives those who have attended Level I of the program the opportunity to more completely develop their leadership skills. This program includes an off campus camping and rafting trip, which test the skills and responsibilities that come with those activities.
The Porter's Junior Model U.N. is "designed to teach students about civics, current events, effective communication, and global perspective through engaging and interactive lessons and exercises." The program concludes with a "two-day Model UN-style conference at Porter's."

Famous quotes containing the words summer and/or programs:
“... and the next summer she died in childbirth.
That’s all. Of course, there may be some sort of sequel but it is not known to me. In such cases instead of getting bogged down in guesswork, I repeat the words of the merry king in my favorite fairy tale: Which arrow flies for ever? The arrow that has hit its mark.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“[The Republicans] offer ... a detailed agenda for national renewal.... [On] reducing illegitimacy ... the state will use ... funds for programs to reduce out-of-wedlock pregnancies, to promote adoption, to establish and operate children’s group homes, to establish and operate residential group homes for unwed mothers, or for any purpose the state deems appropriate. None of the taxpayer funds may be used for abortion services or abortion counseling.”
—Newt Gingrich (b. 1943)
