Phillips Exeter Academy is a boarding school in Exeter, New Hampshire of approximately 1,000 students. Regarded as the most prestigious high school in the country, most notably for academics, Phillips Exeter Academy is renowned worldwide for its unique teaching method, “The Harkness Table.” The principal is based off the idea that the students are of such a high intellect that they are able to teach each other, and thus the teacher of the class simply acts as a moderator for the brilliant discussion which occurs. In simpler terms, the students are so smart they teach themselves and don’t need a teacher to tell them what to do.

My son applied to Phillips Exeter Academy but was not accepted. So we’ll just end up sending him to Andover. I hope he doesn't come out too screwd up.
The boy, described as “apish, moronic, alcoholic, and masturbated too often,” was a graduate of Phillips Academy Andover. While enjoying his birthday present of a position as “President of the United States,” he choked on a pretzel and was sent to the finest hospital in the land where an Exeter doctor watched over him

Get the Academic Weapon mug.A college prep school located in Marion Massachusetts. Decent academics, great sports, no art, and a strict dress-code. The population consists primarily of rich kids, overachievers, jocks, and fashionable Asians. The guys tend to be pretentious, somewhat intelligent, fit but not horribly attractive, and basically douchebags. Some of the male dorms are pretty gay. The girls are equally pretentious, extremely attractive, more focused on schoolwork, and don't wear skirts that fit the knee-length dress code. Each one owns a pair of Uggs and something with horizontal stripes. The food is good, especially white pizza Thursday and cookie Monday, but occasionally a bit repetitive. Avoid the caesar salad. People usually hook up in Hoyt or in the laundry room under the Chapel. Everyone likes to brag about something, from their academic achievements to just how loaded they are. Clubs are basically a joke and none of them meet after the first week. Nearly everyone is heterosexual and has a Twitter. Rumors spread very fast, so people say that the walls are thin. No one really understands the website, especially the teachers.
Tabor Girl: Wow I can't believe I just got dresscoded by insert teacher here! He/she must really hate me! I can't believe Tabor Academy lets them do this!
Not Tabor Girl: Well maybe it's because your skirt doesn't cover your ass.
