Religion Department at Phillips Exeter Academy

The Religion Department creates space for reflection. You’ll strengthen social ties and examine what it means to be human — as you search for meaning and purpose in your life.

Our curriculum explores a diversity of ideologies. Classes like Islam and Judaism explore the histories, beliefs and cultural traditions of those religions while courses on ethics challenge you to consider moral questions in the context of current events.

Delving into these topics with an open heart and mind will deepen your understanding of other belief systems and help you articulate your own values as well.
