Phillips Academy (also known as PA, Phillips Academy Andover, or simply Andover) is a co-educational university-preparatory school for boarding and day students in grades 9–12, along with a post-graduate year. The school is in Andover, Massachusetts, United States, 25 miles north of Boston. Phillips Academy has 1,149 students,[9] and is highly selective, accepting 9% for the 2022–2023 school year.[10] It is part of the Eight Schools Association and the Ten Schools Admissions Organization.

Founded in 1778, Andover is one of the oldest incorporated secondary schools in the United States. It has educated a long list of notable alumni through its history, including American presidents George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush, foreign heads of state, numerous members of Congress, five Nobel laureates and six Medal of Honor recipients.[11]

It became coeducational in 1973, when it merged with nearby girls' school Abbot Academy.[12]

## Overview[edit]

Phillips Academy is the oldest incorporated academy in the United States,[13] established in 1778 by Samuel Phillips Jr. His uncle, Dr. John Phillips, later founded Phillips Exeter Academy in 1781. In June 2023, Phillips Academy's endowment stood at $1.32 billion.[14] Andover is subject to the control of a board of trustees.[15][16] Raynard S. Kington has been the Head of School since 2019.[17]

Phillips Academy admitted only boys until 1973, when it merged with Abbot Academy, a boarding school for girls also in Andover. Abbot Academy, founded in 1828,[18] was one of the first incorporated schools for girls in New England.

Andover traditionally educated its students for later studies at Yale University.[19]

The school's student-run newspaper, The Phillipian,[20] is the oldest secondary school newspaper in the United States, the next oldest secondary school newspaper being The Exonian, Phillips Exeter Academy's weekly.[21] The Phillipian was first published on July 28, 1857, and is said to have been published regularly since 1878. Students comprise the editorial board and make all decisions for the paper, consulting with faculty advisors at their own discretion. The Philomathean Society is one of the oldest high school debate societies in the nation, second to the Daniel Webster Debate Society at Phillips Exeter Academy.[22]

The Phillips Academy Poll, a public opinion research institute based at Phillips Academy, attained national prominence in 2021 while being featured in major media outlets. It is the first public opinion poll to be conducted by high school students.[23]

Phillips Academy also runs a five-week summer session for approximately 600 students entering grades 8 through 12.[24]

## History[edit]

Student body, Phillips Andover, 1910

Several figures from the revolutionary period are associated with the school. George Washington visited the school during his presidency in 1789,[25] and Washington's nephews later attended the school. John Hancock signed the school's articles of incorporation and the great seal of the school was designed by Paul Revere.

A view of Samuel Phillips Hall

Phillips Academy's traditional rival is Phillips Exeter Academy, which was established three years later in Exeter, New Hampshire, by Samuel Phillips' uncle, John Phillips. The rivalry persists. The football teams have met nearly every year since 1878, making it the oldest prep school rivalry in the country.[26]

For a hundred years of its history, Phillips Academy shared its campus with the Andover Theological Seminary, which was founded on Phillips Hill in 1807 by orthodox Calvinists who had fled Harvard College after it appointed a liberal Unitarian theology professor. The seminary was independent of Phillips Academy but shared the same board of directors. In 1908, the seminary departed Phillips Academy, leaving behind its key buildings: academic building Pearson Hall (formerly a chapel), and dormitories Foxcroft Hall and Bartlet Hall.[27] These buildings later became part of the Andover campus, which was expanded in the 1920s and 1930s around this historic core with new buildings of similar Georgian style, including Paresky Commons and the Addison Gallery of American Art.[28] Small portions of Andover's campus were laid out by Frederick Law Olmsted, designer of Central Park and himself a graduate of the school.[29]

Revere's design of the school's seal incorporated bees, a beehive, and the sun. The school's primary motto, Non Sibi, located in the sun, means "not for oneself." The school's second motto, Finis Origine Pendet, meaning "the end depends upon the beginning," is scrolled across the bottom of the seal.[30]

Phillips was one of the schools where students on the Chinese Educational Mission were sent to study by the Qing dynasty government from 1878 to 1881. One of the students, Liang Cheng, later became the Chinese ambassador to the United States.[31]

During the 1930s the school was involved in the International Schoolboy Fellowship, a cultural exchange program between US academies, British public schools and Nazi boarding schools.[32]

Phillips Academy curriculum and extracurricular activities include music ensembles, thirty competitive sports, a campus newspaper, a radio station, and a debate club. In 1973 Phillips Academy merged with neighboring Abbot Academy, which was founded in 1829 as one of the first schools for girls in New England.[33] After existing at Phillips Academy almost since its inception, secret societies were officially disbanded in 1949. One secret society continues to exist.[34][35][36]

Phillips Academy is one of only a few private high schools (others include Roxbury Latin and St. Andrew's School) in the United States that attained need-blind admissions in 2007 and 2008, and it has continued this policy through the present.[37] In 2013 it received 3,029 applications and accepted 13%, a record low acceptance rate for the school. Of those accepted, 79% went on to matriculate at the academy.[38]

## Academics[edit]

Phillips Academy follows a trimester program, where a school year is divided into three terms; each lasts approximately ten weeks.[39] Many courses are year-long, while others last only one to two terms.[40] Students may also choose to pursue an independent research program in a topic of choice under the guidance of faculty members if there are no more courses suitable for them in one or more disciplines.

Andover does not rank students, and rather than a four-point GPA scale, Phillips Academy calculates GPA using a six-point system. A six is considered outstanding and is (theoretically) rarely awarded, a five is the lowest honors grade, and a two is the lowest passing grade.[41]

In 1952, Andover, Exeter, Lawrenceville, Harvard, Princeton and Yale published the study General Education in School and College: A Committee Report. The report recommended examinations that would place students after admission to college. This program evolved into the Advanced Placement Program.[42][43]

For the 239 members of the class of 2018, average SAT scores were 720 on the English section and 740 on the Math section.[44]

## Facilities[edit]

### Notable academic facilities[edit]

* Bulfinch Hall was designed by Asher Benjamin, a student of architect Charles Bulfinch, and built in 1819. It now houses the English Department and received renovations during the summer and fall terms of 2012.[45]
* The Gelb Science Center, named after alumnus donor Richard L. Gelb, opened for classes in January 2004. It replaced the older Evans Hall, which was built in 1963 and demolished following the completion of Gelb. Gelb has three floors, each devoted to a separate science. The first-floor houses biology, the second-floor physics, and the third-floor chemistry. Gelb also has an observatory above the third floor.[46] Gelb Science center.
* Morse Hall is used by the Math Department, CAMD (Community and Multicultural Development), the student-run radio station (WPAA), and some of the student-run publications. Morse Hall is named after Samuel Morse, who graduated from Phillips Academy in 1805 and later invented the telegraph and Morse code.

* Oliver Wendell Holmes Library (OWHL) was built in 1929 (renovated 1987 and 2018–2019) and is named after Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr., an 1825 graduate of Phillips Academy.[47] It is built in the Georgian Revival architectural style.[47] The library houses more than 120,000 works.[citation needed] Located in OWHL is the Garver Room, known to students as "Silent Study."[48] The Garver Room containing the most comprehensive secondary-school reference collection in the country.[49][better source needed] In 2019, the OWHL received the Internet Archive's "Hero Award."[50] Over 50 classes make use of The Nest as a teaching facility.[51]
* Pearson Hall, one of the oldest structures on campus, is the classics building. It was built in 1817.[52]

### Student facilities[edit]

* Cochran Chapel is a neo-Georgian church located on the north side of campus. It is also home to the philosophy, religious studies, and community service departments.
* Paresky Commons is the school's dining hall.
* George Washington Hall was built in 1926. The building serves numerous functions, including as an administration building (Head of School's office, dean of studies, dean of students, among others), a post office (a mail room), and the Day Student Lounge and locker area. The hall also houses the drama and arts departments.
* The Log Cabin is located in the 65-acre (0.26 km2) Cochran Wildlife Sanctuary on the northeastern edge of campus and serves as a place for student groups to hold meetings as well as sleep-overs.
* Rebecca M. Sykes Wellness Center houses both physical and mental health facilities for students.
* The Snyder Center is a 98,000 square-foot space, housing athletic facilities for students, including squash courts and an indoor track.[53]
* The Pan Athletic Center is a 70,000-square-foot athletic facility for students completed in September 2022, including a swimming and diving complex and dance studios.[54]

Western dormitory quadrangle ("West Quad").

The school also has dormitories to house the roughly 800 students that board. These buildings range in size from housing as few as four to as many as 40 students. The campus is organized into five "clusters," groups of dorms situated closely together. These five clusters are named Abbot, Flagstaff, Pine Knoll, West Quad North, and West Quad South.[55] Each cluster contains around 220 students, 40 faculty families, and a cluster dean and are responsible for organizing social events, orientation, study breaks, and munches (cluster-wide snacking social events).[24]

Two notable dorms are America House, where the song America was penned,[56] and Stowe House, where American writer Harriet Beecher Stowe (author of Uncle Tom's Cabin) lived while her husband taught at the Andover Theological Seminary.[56] None of the original buildings remain; the oldest dorm is Blanchard House, built in 1789. Several dorms are named after prominent alumni, such as Henry L. Stimson, Secretary of War during World War II, and men instrumental in the founding of the academy, such as Nathan Hale and Paul Revere. Also located on campus is The Andover Inn. Built in 1930, The Andover Inn is a New England country inn with 30 rooms and meeting space.

## Museums[edit]

Main article: Addison Gallery of American Art

Winslow Homer's Eight Bells, part of the Addison Gallery's Permanent Collection

The Addison Gallery of American Art is an art museum given to the school by alumnus Thomas Cochran in memory of his friend Keturah Addison Cobb.[57] Its permanent collection includes Winslow Homer's Eight Bells, along with work by John Singleton Copley, Benjamin West, Thomas Eakins, James McNeill Whistler, Frederic Remington, George Bellows, Edward Hopper, Georgia O'Keeffe, Jackson Pollock, Frank Stella, and Andrew Wyeth. The museum also features collections in American photography and decorative arts, with silver and furniture dating back to precolonial America and a collection of colonial model ships. A rotating schedule of exhibitions is open to students and the public alike. In the spring of 2006, the Phillips Academy Board of Trustees approved a $30-million campaign to renovate and expand the Addison Gallery.[58] Construction on the Addison began in the middle of 2008 and, as of September 7, 2010, is complete, and the museum is once again open to the Phillips Academy community and the broader community of the town of Andover.[59]

Main article: Robert S. Peabody Institute of Archaeology

The Robert S. Peabody Institute of Archaeology was founded in 1901 and is now "one of the nation's major repositories of Native American archaeological collections".[60] The collection includes materials from the Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest, Mexico and the Arctic, and range from Paleo Indian (more than 10,000 years ago) to the present day. Since the early 1990s, the museum has been at the forefront of compliance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act.[citation needed] It currently serves as an educational museum for the students of Phillips Academy. Still, it is accessible to researchers, public schools, and visitors by appointment.

## Athletics[edit]

### History[edit]

An Andover crew races on the Merrimack River.

Athletic competition has long been a part of the Phillips Academy tradition. As early as 1805, football was being played on school grounds, according to a letter that Henry Pearson wrote his father, Eliphalet Pearson in 1805, saying, "I cannot write a long letter as I am very tired after having played at football all this afternoon."[61] The first ever interscholastic football game between high schools was in 1875, when Phillips Academy played against Adams Academy.[62]

Today, Phillips Academy is an athletic powerhouse among New England private schools. Since the Constitution of the Phillips Academy Athletic Association was drawn up in 1903 with the objective of "Athletics for All,"[63] Andover has established 29 different interscholastic programs, and 44 intramural or instructional programs, including fencing, tai chi, figure skating, and yoga. Andover Athletes have been successful in winning over 110 New England Championships in these different sports over the last three decades alone, and have even had the chance to compete abroad, in such competitions as the Henley Royal Regatta in Henley, England, for crew.[64]

The athletic directors of Andover and the other members of the Eight Schools Association (ESA) compose the Eight Schools Athletic Council, which organizes sports events and tournaments among ESA schools.[65][66][67] Andover is also a member of the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council.

Self reported legacy students (defined as students that "have at least one immediate family member who is currently attending or has previously attended Andover.") account for 33.2% of the students.[70]

Andover has its own nomenclature for grade levels. Juniors are students in their first year, Lowers are in their second year, Uppers are in their third year, and Seniors are in their fourth year. Andover admits postgraduate students as well ("PGs").[71]

73.7 percent of Andover students live on campus in dorms or houses while day students from the surrounding communities make up the remaining 26.3 percent of the student body.[70]

In a 2021 poll, 36.1% of Andover students identified as liberal, 13.2% as independent, 11.3% as conservative, 4.0% as communist, 3.2% as libertarian, 3.2% as socialist, and 1.6% as none of the above; 21.8% were unsure as to their political affiliation.[70]

## Finances[edit]

### Endowment and expenses[edit]

As of June 30, 2023, Phillips Academy's financial endowment was $1.32 billion.[14] In its Internal Revenue Service filings for the 2021–22 school year, the academy reported $110.2 million in program service expenses and $22.9 million in grants (primarily student financial aid).[72]

The academy conducted a "record-setting" fundraising campaign from 2017 to 2023, raising $408.9 million.[73] The campaign added over $103 million to the academy's financial aid endowment and raised $121 million to upgrade health, dormitory, library, music, and athletic facilities.[73]

### Tuition and financial aid[edit]

In the 2023–24 school year, Phillips Academy charged boarding students $69,600 and day students $53,950, of which financial aid covers approximately $43,000.[74] The academy has a need-blind admission policy, and 45% of students receive financial aid.[74] The academy also commits to meet 100% of each admitted student's demonstrated financial need, as determined by the academy's financial aid department.[74]

In the twenty-first century, tuition charges at Phillips Academy have significantly increased. In the 2018–19 academic year, Phillips Academy charged boarding students $55,800 and day students $43,300, placing it among the most expensive boarding schools in the world.[75][76]

It is also a member of the Ten Schools Admissions Organization, founded in 1956. Seven ESA schools are also members of the TSAO.[79] In addition, Andover is a member of the G20 Schools group, an international organization of independent secondary schools.

## Controversies[edit]

In 2013, Phillips Academy drew national attention for apparent bias against girls and women, as highlighted by a low number of girls in student leadership.[80]

Reports in 2016 and 2017 identified several former teachers who had engaged in inappropriate sexual contact with students in the past. The school hired an independent law firm to investigate allegations of misconduct, and the head of school, John Palfrey, and the head of the Board of Trustees, Peter Currie, sent an email to the school community that such transgressions must not recur.[81]

In 2020, an Instagram account, @blackatandover, began circulating stories from anonymous current and former Black-identifying students, many of whom detailed personal experiences with racism at Phillips Academy. Several anonymous individuals raised concerns about Phillips Academy's disciplinary system, including perceived racial disparities in outcomes, a perceived emphasis on punishment over restorative justice, and an apparent lack of due process in discipline procedure outlined by the student handbook. The @blackatandover account was reported on by The New York Times, prompting school officials to form an "Anti-Racism Task Force," which released a final report in March 2022.[82][83][84]

## In popular culture[edit]

Andover, often linked with Exeter,[86] is often understood symbolically as an "elite New England prep school", connoting privilege. Writer William S. Dietrich II described Andover and other elite prep schools as being part of a "WASP ascendancy" during the first half of the twentieth century.[87] Elite universities such as Yale and Princeton tended to accept disproportionate percentages of prep school students while using quotas to deny admission to minority applicants.[87] An account in Time in 1931 described the two schools as having "flourished", and that both schools were "twin giants of prep schools in size and in prestige".[88] essentially feeder schools for Ivy League universities such as Harvard and Yale, according to Joseph Lieberman.[89] A cultural image from the 1960s was young men who had "perfect white teeth" and wore Lacoste shirts,[90] with a look easy to identify by young women at the time:

> They can tell just by looking at him whether a boy goes to an Eastern prep school or not. Not only that, they can tell which prep school, usually St. Paul's or Hotchkiss or Groton or Exeter or Andover, or whatever; just by checking his hair and his clothes.

> — Tom Wolfe in his book Mauve Gloves & Madmen, Clutter & Vine[91]

The WASP ascendancy began to break down around the 1960s and onwards when the admissions policies of elite prep schools and universities began to emphasize merit rather than affluence.[87] Still, images of exclusivity based on unfairness tended to remain. Gore Vidal suggested that Andover and Exeter had a "style that was quite witty."[92] If the WASP ascendancy has waned, the image of unaffordability continues to persist, with one writer deploring how the schools cost $30,000 and more annually.[93] Recent reports from graduates, however, paint a picture of educational excellence and diversification. For example, Cristina Hartmann, who attended Andover from 2001 to 2003, described the school as having a need blind admissions policy.[94] She suggested the student body was mostly diversified, and that the school had dedicated buildings for specific subject areas, was challenging academically, and had flexible teachers and peers who were "smart and driven".[94] She elaborated that Andover provided two sign language interpreters, free of charge, to help her academically to cope with her deafness.[94] While the overall image may be changing to one which emphasizes greater diversity and respect for individual talent, the image of the school in the media continues to connote privilege, money, exclusivity, prestige, academic quality, and sometimes negatively connotes chumminess, clubbiness, or arrogance.

The school is often mentioned in books and film, and on television. Some examples include:

19. ^ The pattern of strongly favoring Yale began in the 1840s and continued through the 1940s. During those years, when the senior class numbered around forty, Andover graduates matriculated as follows: 1858 – 20 to Yale, 10 to Williams; 1863 – 21 to Yale, eight to Brown, five to Harvard; 1868 – 105 to Yale, 12 to Amherst, 12 to Harvard. The height of matriculation to Yale was 1937, when one freshman in ten at Yale was an Andover alumnus. That year, 74 percent of the class matriculated at Yale, Harvard, or Princeton. By 1957 onldy 47% matriculated at those institutions. Amherst consistently ranked third after Yale and Harvard for many years in this period, but declined after the 1940s when the school sought to admit more public school graduates. In 1950 for the first time in over a century, more graduates were admitted to Harvard than Yale (64 and 46, respectively) (See Youth From Every Quarter: A Bicentennial History of Phillips Academy, Andover, by Frederick S. Allis Jr. (University Press of New England, 1978)).
