A Journey of Exploration and Discovery
ACCESS EXETER, a program of accelerated study in the arts and sciences, offers students entering grades eight and nine access to the wide range of resources available at Phillips Exeter Academy. If you are one of the 200 participants, you will share in a partnership of cooperative learning and sharpen your skills of observation and expression. You and your teachers will work together within the classroom and beyond. You'll choose to participate in one of ACCESS EXETER'S six academic clusters: Project Exeter: A Greener Earth, The Land and the Sea, Problem-Solving: An Odyssey of the Mind, A Global Community, The Creative Arts: Let Your Spirit Soar, or Exeter C.S.I.: Crime Scene Investigation.

Each cluster consists of three courses, each organized around a central theme.

As a member of the ACCESS EXETER program, you will be part of a community of 200 students and more than twenty proctors, interns, and teachers. If you are a resident on campus, you will live in one of several small dormitories or houses, each staffed with faculty members and proctors. If you are a day student, you will be affiliated with one of the dorms or houses. You will be part of a community that enjoys living and studying together.
