SEE SCHEDULE OPHILLIP EXETER ACADEMY'S PRIMARY PROGRAM SERVICE IS THE EDUCATION OF STUDENTS IN GRADES 9 THROUGH 12 IN A RESIDENTIAL BOARDING SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT. APPROXIMATELY 20% OF STUDENTS ARE DAY STUDENTS AND DO NOT RESIDE ON CAMPUS. ENROLLMENT FOR 2024-2025 WAS 1,106. 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, EXETER VIEWS ITS CHARGE AS PROVIDING STUDENTS WITH A BROAD, LIBERAL ARTS PROGRAM THAT CREATES A STRONG FOUNDATION FOR CONTINUING STUDY AT THE COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY LEVEL. 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. STUDENTS NORMALLY ENROLL IN FIVE COURSES AND PARTICIPATE IN A SPORT EACH TERM.EVERY YEAR, STUDENTS COME TO US FROM AROUND THE WORLD AND ARE ADMITTED WITHOUT REGARD TO THE FAMILY'S ABILITY TO PAY. THE ACADEMY IS COMMITTED TO MEETING THE FULL DEMONSTRATED FINANCIAL NEED OF EACH ADMITTED STUDENT AND APPROXIMATELY HALF OF ALL ADMITTED STUDENTS RECEIVE FINANCIAL AID.
