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

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." You can see an example portfolio here.
