EXPLAINATION

Pupils at Philips Andover, one of the oldest US boarding schools, walk in the footsteps of alumni such as Humphrey Bogart, John F. Kennedy, and Nobel laureate William Knowles. With an egalitarian, needs blind approach to student recruitment, the current pupil population is drawn from 54 countries and 45 American states. Academic opportunities include over 300 plus liberal arts courses, interdisciplinary workshops at the ‘Tang institute’ and access to a molecular biology research lab in the Gelb Science Center. With small class sizes, access to top class facilities and faculty and a history of graduates pursuing higher education at Ivy League Universities, PAA remains a popular choice with parents.
