Phillips Exeter Academy is a coed, independent, residential school celebrating 243 years of fostering curiosity and cultivating potential. The Harkness method of instruction, with 12 students and one instructor working together around one table, originated here and defines our institutional culture. Harkness is more than a pedagogy, but a way of life at Exeter. It begins in the classroom and extends beyond it, to field, stage and common room. Harkness centers on critical thinking and collaboration, providing every voice equal weight and teaching the art of respectful dissent. It’s where students explore ideas as a group, but moreover develop the courage to speak, the compassion to listen, and the empathy to understand.

Academic Curriculum:

Harkness courses are demanding, and weekday classes run from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. as well as on some Saturdays. More than half of our courses are taught at the pace and level of college courses, often using college textbooks. We do not offer AP classes as our courses often go well beyond the AP curriculum. Exeter’s research-based classes, which include partnerships with labs at Stanford University and the University of Pennsylvania, prepare our students well for undergraduate research in STEM, the social sciences, and humanities. Students may also propose advanced field classes of their design and independent research projects with faculty approval and guidance.

College Admissions Highlights:

Over the past three years, ten or more students have matriculated into each of Boston University, Bowdoin, Brown, University of Chicago, Columbia, Cornell, George Washington, Georgetown, Harvard, MIT, NYU, Northeastern, Penn, Princeton, Tufts, UC Berkeley, USC, Wesleyan, and Yale. Over 10 students were admitted into UC Berkeley, NYU, Northwestern, USC, and Stanford. 99% of graduates attend four-year institutions.
