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.
