About the school

Phillips Exeter Academy was founded in 1781 by Dr. John Phillips,
a graduate of Harvard and resident of Exeter. Exeter continues to
affirm the intent of John Phillips to link goodness with knowledge,
developing the consciences and training the minds of students so that
they may usefully serve society.

A gift from philanthropist Edward S. Harkness in 1930 established
a method of teaching unique to Exeter and central to its teaching
philosophy. The Harkness plan calls for an oval table in each classroom,
with class size averaging 12 students and ample opportunity for
dialogue.

Exeter has state-of-the-art science facilities, impressive arts and
music centers, the largest secondary school library in the world and
three domed observatories.
