SATEC @ W.A. Porter is what they refer to as a "closed" school which means that only those students that live in our "catchment" area can attend the school. Equally, students who live in area and/or who live outside our geographic boundary, and are interested in Math, Science, Technology and the Arts, may apply to the Central Student Interest Program (SATEC's STEAM Program). Students simply complete a Central Student Interest Program Application expressing an interest in the program. If the number of applicants exceeds the number of spaces available, all applicants will be eligible for the random selection process.
