Access Exeter is for students who have completed grades 7 or 8 and will be 13 years old before September 1, 2025. As an Access Exeter student, you choose from 10 academic clusters each containing three courses that are specifically grouped together to enhance the cluster theme.
The coursework requires student participation in group discussions for all classes. All students must have a high level of English proficiency to attend the program.
Students may, for a fee, enroll in private music lessons, the SSAT prep course, or replace the two sessions of sports with one of our optional athletic clubs including Exeter Rowing Club, Exeter Soccer Club, or Exeter Volleyball Club.

Exeter Summer Stories
I really enjoyed being able to have conversations with people my age, but they’re actually in-depth important conversations that I’m not often able to have at my own school.
Jules Morris-Scott, Exeter Summer Student
Harkness really teaches you to listen and understand where they're coming from before you form a response. It's helped me with my conversational skills and speaking in a discussion environment.
