Founded in 1778, Phillips Academy is an independent, coeducational secondary school with an expansive worldview and a legacy of academic excellence. Phillips Academy's Constitution charges the faculty to teach "youth from every quarter" to aspire equally to knowledge and goodness. This obligation challenges students to develop what is finest in themselves and others, for others and themselves. Phillips Academy is committed to nurturing an intentionally diverse, inclusive community that encourages students and adults to respect, inspire, and learn from one another. Guided by non-Sibi's ideal, leading lives "not for self," the Phillips Academy community promotes a balance of intellectual curiosity, engagement, leadership, and service in the pursuit of excellence: academic, civic, and moral. We strive to embody the ideal of non-sibi (not for self) with intentional teaching, learning, and engagement guided by a sense of responsibility toward the global community and natural world. We are committed to creating an equitable and inclusive school where students from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and experiences—including race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, socioeconomic class, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, and ability—learn and grow together. We challenge students in mind, body, and spirit such that they may pursue the knowledge, develop the skills, and sustain the integrity needed to lead a responsible, fulfilling life because you will be welcomed into an inspiring community of smart, motivated, curious, open-minded, and genuinely lovely people from across the country and around the world. Because this is a high school that celebrates difference and prizes originality. Because at Andover, you can be your most honest, authentic, daring self. And because we take a balanced approach to academics, extracurriculars, and just plain having fun because our talented, caring teachers, coaches, house counselors, and advisors are always ready to help because we have a renowned art gallery, archaeology museum, and observatory right on campus and because we offer the best of high-tech, low-tech, and multidisciplinary learning plus experiential learning opportunities for every student in fascinating places on nearly every continent.

Phillips Exeter Academy, co-founded by John and Elizabeth Phillips in 1781, believed every student should have access to the very best education — one that embraces the ideals of both goodness and knowledge. Now a co-educational residential school with more than 1,000 high school students from the U.S. and 33 foreign countries, Exeter has a centuries-old tradition of academic excellence and a commitment to empowering Exonians to find their place the world. We are a community that celebrates curiosity and cultivates potential. With a student-to-teacher ratio of 5:1, more than 450 courses in 18 subject areas, and the opportunity to study on five continents, Exeter provides unparalleled opportunities for discovering and exploring both self and subject matter. The founder of Phillips Exeter Academy defined its mission more than two centuries ago. "Above all," John Phillips stated, "it is expected that the attention of instructors to the disposition of the minds and morals of the youth under their charge will exceed every other care well considering that though goodness without knowledge is weak and feeble, yet knowledge without goodness is dangerous, and that both united form the noblest character, and lay the surest foundation of usefulness to mankind." Exeter today continues the commitment to unite knowledge and goodness. It seeks students who combine proven academic ability, intellectual curiosity, and tenacity with decency and good character. At the Academy, exacting inquiry and thoughtful discourse foster the life of the mind, instruction and activity promote fitness and health, and the daily interactions of a residential school nurture integrity, empathy, and kindness. Because learning and growth at Exeter arise from each individual's engagement with others, the richness of education here requires diversity in all its dimensions. Students and faculty value the differences they bring to the community they share. The challenges that students meet at Exeter and their supporters have a common purpose: to stimulate their development as individuals and society members. Exeter seeks to graduate young people whose creativity and independence of thought sustain their continuing inquiry and reflection, whose interest in others and the world around them surpasses their self-concern, and whose passion for learning impels them beyond what they already know.
