About Portsmouth Abbey School

The aim of Portsmouth Abbey School is to help young men and women grow in knowledge and grace. We are a Catholic, co-educational boarding and day school for students in grades 9 through 12. The school is located on a beautiful campus alongside Narragansett Bay, just a few miles from Newport, RI. Our liberal arts curriculum provides a solid foundation, depth of courses to focus on areas of interest, and an emphasis on the ability to write, reason, problem solve, innovate, and communicate clearly. Practically speaking, we offer a range of honors, accelerated, and AP core curricular and elective courses which students may choose. All students are involved in after school activities – choosing from 25 varsity sports, a robust performing arts program, or community service internships.

What Makes Us Unique

In addition to our robust course offerings, Portsmouth Abbey is proud to provide our students many opportunities to learn outside of the classroom. These inter-disciplinary opportunities include Science Grants, Haney Fellowships, and many study abroad options. To learn more, please visit our website.
