Youth From Every Quarter

Educating “youth from every quarter” has been an Exeter hallmark since its founding in 1781. Over time, the term from our deed of gift has evolved to be an even more inclusive reflection of the greater world in which we live.

We continue this tradition today by bringing together students and adults with deep intellectual curiosity and compassion for others who represent a range of backgrounds, experiences and traditions.

Tuition & Costs

We seek students of promising academic ability and strong character from a wide range of backgrounds, experiences and identities, and we admit students without regard to their family’s ability to pay tuition. The rich diversity of students that results creates a powerful learning environment and is one of the defining strengths of our school.
