    From Portsmouth Abbey School

    At Portsmouth Abbey School, we believe in something greater: where intellect and the human heart unite; where the pursuit of knowledge is grounded in the Benedictine values of love of God, respect, and hospitality. Our location on 525 acres along Narragansett Bay connects us to the natural world, while the monastery and monks on campus remind us of our 1,500-year-old intellectual tradition and our commitment to live our values. Here, we educate the whole person, helping students develop on social, emotional, ethical, and intellectual levels. Our unique interdisciplinary, classical curriculum guides students to make meaningful connections with each other and the world around them. They are respected and known, able to explore and take risks in a kind and joyful community.
