WATCH
One of Porter-Gaud’s founding principles is the acronym WATCH. We ask students to always thoughtfully consider their words, actions, thoughts, character, and habits. We strive to nurture both a strong intellect and moral character. Guided by our Vision of a Learner, each component of WATCH is woven into an experience that provides the most holistic education in the Lowcountry, and has made Porter-Gaud an educational leader for more than a century.

Testimonials
"Our school gave me the tools to learn how to learn. We were expected to know how to find the information and apply it. I will always love PG for that."

"At PG, I was inspired. That zest for learning that I got at PG stayed with me throughout my graduate work and early career"

"Porter-Gaud is an easy easy place to call home. It's a feeling palpable for all who pass through its gates, even if only for a few hours. Spend a day here and you'll no doubt be searching for ways to stay. Spend a month and you'll feel like you've been here and known its people forever --- more importantly, you'll wish that you had."
