At Porter Academy of Arts and Sciences, our educational philosophy is rooted in a classical Christian approach that integrates academic rigor with a biblical worldview. We believe education is not only about the acquisition of knowledge but also about shaping character, virtue, and a deeper understanding of God’s truth. By blending the principles of classical education with culturally relevant perspectives, we equip students to think critically, communicate effectively, and live faithfully. Our curriculum emphasizes the integration of arts and sciences through the lens of Scripture, inspiring a love for learning and preparing students to engage the world with wisdom, integrity, and purpose. In partnership with families, we aim to cultivate students who will glorify God and make meaningful contributions to their communities.

Semper Fidelis
Always Faithful

At Porter Academy of Arts and Sciences, our school motto, Semper Fidelis, serves as the guiding principle for our educational philosophy, community values, and mission. Rooted in the rich tradition of faithfulness to God, family, and education, Semper Fidelis encapsulates our unwavering commitment to excellence in every aspect of life.

Living Semper Fidelis

The motto Semper Fidelis is more than words; it is a way of life that we strive to embody every day:

• In the Classroom: Faithfulness to learning, respect for teachers, and a commitment to growth.

• In the Community: Faithfulness to service, kindness to others, and integrity in action.

• In Life: Faithfulness to God’s calling, upholding truth, and leading with purpose.

A Call to Faithfulness

At Porter Academy, Semper Fidelis challenges every member of our community—students, parents, and staff alike—to remain steadfast in faith, committed to truth, and faithful in their pursuits. It inspires us to honor God in our studies, relationships, and aspirations, equipping students to leave a lasting impact on the world for His glory.

Motto in Action:
"And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him." – Colossians 3:17
