My dream is that each individual student would be able to pick up any book, attend any play or any movie, and know that he has the ability, if he wants, to understand it. Listed below are those questions most frequently asked by applicants followed by those inquiries we hear most from their parents. Exeter matriculates approximately 350 new students each fall. While many of the new students are ninth graders, Exeter enrolls new students in every grade each year.
New students arrive on campus two days before returning students for a special orientation.
Senior proctors and dorm faculty greet new students and conduct special activities to familiarize them with the culture of Exeter. Since Exeter has students from 43 states and over 27 foreign countries, everybody who likes to learn and experience new challenges fits in. It's cool to be you. During this time, the dorms are expected to be quiet, and students are working in their own rooms. Each new student is placed in the appropriate level course based on previous teacher recommendations or, in some cases, a placement test.
