A Journey of Discovery and Exploration
Our UPPER SCHOOL offers programs of study for high school students entering grades ten through twelve and post-grad. You may choose to sample several different disciplines, taking courses in such topics as web page design, conversational French, and observational Astronomy.

ACCESS EXETER, our program for students entering grades eight and nine, offers accelerated study in the arts and sciences. The ACCESS EXETER curriculum consists of six academic clusters. Each cluster consists of three courses organized around a central theme.

Summer Session grants students great freedom in defining their own programs of study. You will work with highly experienced, dedicated teachers and have access to the full range of the Academy campus, including the Phelps Science Center (a state-of-the-art facility with 24 air-conditioned laboratory/classrooms), the Fisher Theater, the Forrestal-Bowld Music Center, Love Gymnasium (a complex of hockey rinks, swimming pools, fitness centers, and basketball and squash courts) and The Class of 1945 Library (the largest secondary school library in the world).

In the pages that follow, you'll find much more detail about Summer School. If you are interested in five weeks of challenging study, five weeks of music and theater and art and athletics, five weeks of fun and friendships, then consider Exeter's Summer Session. I look forward to welcoming you as an Exonian to Summer School.
