| MISSION STATEMENT | FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 AND PART III, LINE 1 PHILLIPS EXETER ACADEMY, AN INDEPENDENT SECONDARY SCHOOL, CONTINUES THE COMMITMENT TO UNITE GOODNESS AND KNOWLEDGE. WITH A TOTAL ENROLLMENT OF MORE THAN 1,000 STUDENTS APPROXIMATELY 80 PERCENT OF WHOM ARE BOARDERS AND 20 PERCENT OF WHOM ARE DAY STUDENTS, THE SCHOOL SEEKS YOUNG PEOPLE 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 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 THE SUPPORT THEY RECEIVE HAVE A COMMON PURPOSE; TO STIMULATE THEIR DEVELOPMENT AS INDIVIDUALS AND AS MEMBERS OF SOCIETY. 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. |

ENROLLMENT FOR 2019-2020 WAS 1,073. THE FOUNDATION OF EXETER'S REGULAR SESSION CURRICULUM CONTINUES TO BE THE TEACHING METHOD MADE POSSIBLE IN 1931 BY THE GENEROSITY OF EDWARD HARKNESS: DISCUSSION IN SMALL CLASSES MEETING AROUND SEMINAR TABLES WHERE MAXIMUM STUDENT INVOLVEMENT AND INTERCHANGE ARE BOTH ENCOURAGED AND REQUIRED. SINCE 1931, THIS PROCESS HAS CONTINUED WHILE THE CONTENT OF THE CURRICULUM HAS UNDERGONE SEVERAL REVISIONS AS EXETER HAS SOUGHT TO BLEND ITS RESPECT FOR TRADITION WITH ITS COMMITMENT TO EDUCATE YOUNG PEOPLE FOR A RAPIDLY CHANGING WORLD. THE CURRENT CURRICULUM IS BASED ON TWO FUNDAMENTAL ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT AN EXETER EDUCATION. FIRST, DUE TO INCREASING SPECIALIZATION AT THE COLLEGE LEVEL, EXETER VIEWS ITS CHARGE AS PROVIDING STUDENTS WITH A BROAD, LIBERAL ARTS PROGRAM. SECOND, THE ACADEMY BELIEVES THE PROCESS OF EDUCATION IS AS IMPORTANT AS ITS CONTENT. FACULTY EMPHASIZE NOT MERELY WHAT THEY WANT STUDENTS TO KNOW, BUT ALSO WHAT SORTS OF INDIVIDUALS THEY WANT THEM TO BECOME: YOUNG PEOPLE WHOSE PASSION FOR LEARNING EXCEEDS WHAT THEY ALREADY KNOW AND WHOSE INTEREST IN OTHERS AND IN THE WORLD SURPASSES THEIR SELF-CONCERN. EXETER'S SCHOOL YEAR CONSISTS OF THREE TERMS, WHICH ALLOWS EXPANDED ELECTIVE CHOICES ACROSS A RANGE OF DISCIPLINES TO BE COMBINED WITH A FOCUS ON DEPTH OF STUDY IN ADVANCED COURSES IN EACH DEPARTMENT.
