What is a Schoolhouse Portfolio? How can it boost my college applications?

As you continue your journey on Schoolhouse, you build a Portfolio that showcases both your certifications as well as your contributions as a volunteer tutor. This portfolio is accepted by Schoolhouse's 18 College Partners as a meaningful credential in official colleges applications - learn more about these partners by reading below.

Your portfolio can be found at any time on schoolhouse.world by selecting your profile, found on the bottom left corner on a computer or tablet, bottom right on mobile, then selecting "My Portfolio."

What can I do with my portfolio?



We hope that your portfolio is something you're proud of—that it showcases not only your mastery of math / science content, but also your incredible work as a volunteer. We encourage you to send your certifications to employers, colleges, scholarship applications, and more!

In particular, Schoolhouse has partnered with the following universities, who have all voiced their support for the Schoolhouse Portfolio: Brown, Caltech, Case Western, Colby, Columbia, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Iowa, Maryland, MIT, Northwestern, Ohio State, UChicago, USC, Vanderbilt, WashU, Wisconsin, and Yale. Of course, we encourage you to send your Schoolhouse Portfolio to any school, even if it isn't listed here!
