This is the most luxurious boarding school in the United States, where former President Franklin Pierce, 19 state governors, 5 U.S. senators, and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg once studied.
Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire (a state in the New England region in the northeastern United States), has been ranked and voted as the most prestigious boarding school in the United States for two consecutive years.
The library is a building designed by the renowned architect Louis I. Kahn in 1965. It houses more than 137,702 printed books, 154,271 e-books, and 7,063 music materials.
At Exeter, students learn through the Harkness method. This method was established in 1930 by Edward Harkness, who believed that learning should be an exchange of thoughts and ideas.
Twelve students and a teacher sit around a Harkness table and discuss the topic at hand. This is how Exeter students explore ideas as a group, confidently express their opinions, listen, and solve problems together in their studies.
