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 has been referred to by many contemporary sources as the most elite boarding school in America.[12][13][14][15]

It became coeducational in 1973, the year in which it merged with its neighbor girls' school Abbot Academy.[16]

Overview

Phillips Academy is the oldest incorporated academy in the United States,[17] established in 1778 by Samuel Phillips Jr. His uncle, Dr. John Phillips, later founded Phillips Exeter Academy in 1781. Phillips Academy's endowment stood at just over one billion dollars as of February 2016.[18] Andover is subject to the control of a board of trustees, headed by Amy Falls, who succeeded Peter Currie, business executive and former Netscape Chief Financial Officer, who himself had taken over as president of the Phillips Academy Board of Trustees on July 1, 2012.[19][20] On December 5, 2019, Dr. Raynard S. Kington, 13th President of Grinnell College, was named the 16th Head of School.[21]

Phillips Academy admitted only boys until the school became coeducational in 1973, the year of Phillips Academy's merger with Abbot Academy, a boarding school for girls also in Andover. Abbot Academy, founded in 1828,[16] was one of the first incorporated schools for girls in New England. Then-headmaster Theodore Sizer of Phillips and Donald Gordon of Abbot oversaw the merger.

Andover traditionally educated its students for Yale, just as Phillips Exeter Academy educated its students for Harvard, and Lawrenceville prepped students for Princeton.[22]

The school's student-run newspaper, The Phillipian,[23] is the oldest secondary school newspaper in the United States, the next oldest secondary school newspaper being The Exonian, Phillips Exeter Academy's weekly.[24] The Phillipian was first published on July 28, 1857, and has been published regularly since 1878. It retains financial and editorial independence from Phillips Academy, having completed a $500,000 endowment drive in 2014. Students comprise the editorial board and make all decisions for the paper, consulting with two faculty advisors at their own discretion.[25] 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.

Phillips Academy also runs a five-week summer session for approximately 600 students entering grades 8 through 12.[26]

History

Phillips Academy was founded during the American Revolution as an all-boys school in 1778 by Samuel Phillips Jr.

Phillips Academy's traditional rival is Phillips Exeter Academy, which was established three years later in Exeter, New Hampshire, by Samuel Phillips' uncle, Dr. John Phillips, who was also a major contributor to Andover's founding. The two schools still maintain a rivalry. The football teams have met nearly every year since 1878, making it the oldest prep school rivalry in the country.[27] In 1882, the first high school lacrosse teams were formed at Phillips Academy, Phillips Exeter Academy and the Lawrenceville School.

 
A view of Samuel Phillips Hall

Several figures from the revolutionary period are associated with the school. George Washington visited the school during his presidency in 1789,[28] 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.

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 theologian to a professorship of divinity. The Andover Theological 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.[29] 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: Samuel Phillips Hall, George Washington Hall, Samuel Morse Hall, Paul Revere Hall, Oliver Wendell Holmes Library, Commons, the Addison Gallery of American Art and Cochran Chapel.[30] Small portions of Andover's campus were laid out by Frederick Law Olmsted, designer of Central Park and himself a graduate of the school.[31]

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.[32]

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.[33]

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.[34]

Phillips Academy curriculum and extracurricular activities include music ensembles, 30 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 and named for Sarah Abbot.[35] After existing at Phillips Academy almost since its inception, secret societies were officially disbanded in 1949. Despite this, at least one secret society continues to exist.[36][37][38]

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.[39] 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.[40]

Academics

Phillips Academy follows a trimester program, where a school year is divided into three terms, with each term lasting approximately 10 weeks. Classes are held from Monday to Friday, with the first period of the day beginning at 8:30 am and the last period ending at 2:50 pm. On Wednesdays, classes end early at 1:00 pm in order to provide more time for athletics, clubs, and community service.[41]

Many courses are year-long, while others last only one to two terms. Most students take five courses each trimester. Four-year students at Phillips Academy are required to take courses in English, foreign language, mathematics (through precalculus), history and social science, laboratory science, art, music, philosophy and religious studies, and physical education.[42] 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. The Office of the Dean of Studies claims that there is no formal equivalent between the zero-to-six system and a conventional letter-grade system. However, 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.[43] Grades earned in classes are sometimes weighted at the discretion of the instructor, and the school provides no uniform scale for converting percent scores into grades on the six-point scale.

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]

  • 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. The library's construction was funded by Thomas Cochran and Louis Cochran Savage in the names of their brothers William, Class of 1895, and Montcreiff, Class of 1900, costing around $500,000.[47] It is built in the Georgian Revival architectural style.[47] The hip roof contains a skylight to bring natural light into the interior spaces. 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" for its work on digitizing its book collection and making it available via controlled digital lending (i.e. providing digital copies to one user at a time).[50] The 2018-2019 renovations also saw the doubling in size of the school's makerspace (dubbed "The Nest"). The updated facility houses a data lab, two laser cutters, four MakerBot 3-D printers, two resin printers, and a room for robotics groups. 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. Built in 1817, it once was the main building of the Andover Theological Seminary. The only subjects with classes that meet in Pearson are Latin, Greek, Greek literature, mythology, and etymology. It was named after the school's first headmaster, Eliphalet Pearson.
  • Samuel Phillips Hall was built in 1924 and named after the school's founder. This building houses the languages, history, and social sciences departments, as well as the school's language lab.

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).[26]

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.

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.

History

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] One of the oldest schoolboy rivalries in American football is the Andover/Exeter competition, started in 1878. That year, the first Andover/Exeter baseball game took place, and The Phillipian returned from hiatus, named its first Board and began publishing regularly.[63] Similar boarding school traditions include the Choate-Deerfield rivalry and Hotchkiss-Taft rivalry.

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.

As a way to encourage all students to try new things and stay healthy, all students are required to have an athletic commitment each term. A range of instructional sports are available for those who wish to try new things, and for those already established in a sport, most teams have at least a varsity and junior varsity squad.

Student body

For the 2020–2021 school year, the Andover student body included students from 44 states/territories and 51 countries.[69] Self reported students of color comprise 41.9% of the student body (Asian 40.1%, Black 10.4%, Hispanic/Latino 9.4%, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander 1.2%, Indigenous Peoples of the Americas 2.3%). 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").

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]

The Phillipians boast a diverse political landscape, in the 2021 State of the Academy 36.1% identified as liberal, 13.2% as independent, 11.3% as conservative, 4.0% as communist, 3.2% as libertarian, 3.2% as socialist, 1.6% did not identify with the above, leaving 21.8% who were unsure as to their political affiliation.[70]

The Phillips Academy Poll

The Phillips Academy Poll (also known as Andover Poll) is a public opinion research institute based at Phillips Academy. The organization studies political sentiments by surveying registered voters by telephone.[71][72] The poll’s findings have been covered by MSNBC,[73] Fox News,[74] BBC News,[75] The New Yorker,[76] Politico,[77] The Guardian,[78] Newsweek,[79] NPR,[80] and FiveThirtyEight.[81] It is a student-led organization and the first public opinion poll to be conducted by an institution of secondary education.[72][71]

Organization

The Phillips Academy Poll is a student organization at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, founded in 2021 by Patrick Chen and Alex Shieh.[82][72][76] The organization's polling is funded by the Abbot Academy Fund,[83] a grant-giving organization furthering the ideals of Abbot Academy, which merged with Phillips Academy in 1973.[84]

Methodology

The Phillips Academy Poll conducts surveys via telephone, using interactive voice response technology that allows respondents to indicate their responses via the keypad.[85] Outgoing phone calls are initiated with an automated dialing system.[86] The poll's sample is achieved through random digit dialing. Within the area codes assigned to the location being polled, phone numbers are dialed at random,[87] and the response rate is approximately 2-3%.[88] Polling results are interpreted by raking, also known as iterative proportional fitting. This procedure adjusts the weighting for each response so the sample more accurately reflects the demographics and partisan affiliations of the general electorate.[89]

Student Civic Leader Summit

On the weekend before Election Day, The Phillips Academy Poll hosts a conference for high school students, featuring prominent political figures as guests. The summits are held to encourage civic engagement among members of Generation Z, as well as to spread understanding of opinion polling. The 2022 summit featured speeches from Seth Moulton, Larry Sabato, Arnon Mishkin, Adam Frisch, and representatives from the Harvard Institute of Politics.[90][91]

Criticism

Andy Smith, the director of the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, has criticized The Phillips Academy Poll's use of interactive voice response to conduct polling, asking, "Why would you want to talk with a computer about your views on politics unless you really want to express your views on politics?"[92]

Tuition and financial aid

For the 2021–2022 academic year, Phillips Academy charged boarding students $61,950 and day students $48,020.[93] In the 2018–2019 academic year, Phillips Academy charged boarding students $55,800 and day students $43,300, making it more expensive than HMC schools and among the most expensive boarding schools in the world.[94][95] Tuition to Phillips Academy has increased at a rate of 4.27% a year since the 2002 academic year or 3.76% per year over the last decade.[93] There are mandatory fees for boarding students and optional fees on top of tuition. These were an estimated $2400/year plus travel to and from the academy in the 2017–2018 academic year.[96]

Phillips Academy offers need-blind admission.[97] In the 2021–2022 academic year, 100% of demonstrated financial need was met with 47% of students receiving some form of financial aid and 15% of students receiving full scholarships. Returning students receive an average grant of $40,800.

Affiliations

Andover is a member of the Eight Schools Association, begun informally in 1973–74 and formalized in 2006. Andover was host to the annual meeting of ESA in April 2008. It is also a member of the Ten Schools Admissions Organization, founded in 1956. There is a seven-school overlap of membership between the two groups.[100] In addition, Andover is a member of the G20 Schools group, an international organization of independent secondary schools.

Controversies

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.[101]

Reports in 2016 and 2017 identified several former teachers in the past who had engaged in inappropriate sexual contact with students. 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.[102]

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.[103][104][105]

In popular culture

Andover, often linked with Exeter,[106] 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.[107] 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.[107] 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".[108] essentially feeder schools for Ivy League universities such as Harvard and Yale, according to Joseph Lieberman.[109] A cultural image from the 1960s was young men who had "perfect white teeth" and wore Lacoste shirts,[110] 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[111]

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.[107] Still, images of exclusivity based on unfairness tended to remain. Gore Vidal suggested that Andover and Exeter had a "style that was quite witty."[112] 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.[113] 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.[114] 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".[114] She elaborated that Andover provided two sign language interpreters, free of charge, to help her academically to cope with her deafness.[114] 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:

  • In Chapter 17 of The Catcher in the Rye, Sally Hayes introduces Holden to a boy who attended Andover.[115] "You'd have thought they'd taken baths in the same bathtub or something when they were little kids. Old buddyroos. It was nauseating. The funny part was, they probably met each other just once, at some phony party. Finally, when they were all done slobbering around, old Sally introduced us. His name was George something—I don't even remember—and he went to Andover. Big, big deal."
  • In the John Guare play Six Degrees of Separation, one of the characters laments that his parents could not afford to send him to Andover or Exeter.[116]
  • F. Scott Fitzgerald's This Side of Paradise has several characters who attended Andover.[117]
  • In Scent of a Woman, Charles Simms tries to start an argument with the irascible Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade by saying that "... I believe President Bush went to Andover."[118]
  • In A Beautiful Mind, John Nash's imaginary Princeton roommate characterizes him as a "poor kid that never got to go to Exeter or Andover".[119]
  • In episode 17 of House of Cards, a reporter mentions that Claire Underwood attended "the prestigious Phillips Academy."
  • In season 4, episode 5 of The West Wing, titled "Debate Camp", White House chief of staff Leo McGary remarks that had President Bartlet lost the election, he would have been employed as the chairman of the board of economics at Phillips Academy Andover
  • In season 5, episode 15 of Gilmore Girls, titled "Jews and Chinese Food", Logan Huntzberger, when discussing boarding schools, says that he "did a year at Andover".
  • In the webcomic Check, Please! both B. "Shitty" Knight and Derek "Nursey" Malik Nurse are Andover alumni.[120]
  • In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Tony Stark was a member of the class of 1984 at Andover.
  • In the film Thoroughbreds, Lily Reynolds is expelled from Andover for plagiarism.
  • In Lisa Taddeo's Three Women, main character Sloane describes her father as “Andover, Princeton, Harvard. You know what I mean... when I say that.”
  • On the show Jeopardy, Andover was included[121] as the answer to a clue.

  22. ^ 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)).

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 107 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 107 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 108 essentially feeder schools for Ivy League universities such as Harvard and Yale according to Joseph Lieberman 109 A cultural image from the 1960s was young men who had perfect white teeth and wore Lacoste shirts 110 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 amp Madmen Clutter amp Vine 111 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 107 Still images of exclusivity based on unfairness tended to remain Gore Vidal suggested that Andover and Exeter had a style that was quite witty 112 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 113 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 114 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 114 She elaborated that Andover provided two sign language interpreters free of charge to help her academically to cope with her deafness 114 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
