Phillips Exeter Academy

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.

Students of PEA, known as Exonians, have an infamous rivalry with the students of Phillips Academy Andover, another East coast boarding school. Founded a few years earlier and with a slightly larger student body, Andover is normally considered the age old back up, or “safety school” to Exeter. There are many examples of the clashing between the two.

Exeter

A Township, in between Reading and Pottstown, Pennsylvania. This place is home to cookie cutter houses, a new shopping center, multiple golf courses, a music shop, and one of the largest Walmarts on the east coast, and still nothing to do. The high school is filled with the typical feelings of self-righteousness, accomplishment, and rebellion through idiocy. Most students have recognized the need to change, and moved on to better things, but others remain the same, and get nowhere. Known for accomplishments in Volleyball, Soccer, Hockey, and Marching Band; Rivals are Daniel Boone and Wilson.
Person 1: You been to Exeter lately?
Person 2: Yeah, the people are still the same...
Person 1: How about that shopping center?
Person 2: Yeah, how about it...
