Andover has been the best experience for me. In my freshman year, I was full of regrets for coming in the first few months; I was scared of the "newness" of the situation, but over time I have realized that living for the challenge and embracing it is the best way to go about experiencing Andover. Try all of the new things, and go in with an open mind (unlike me). I would recommend Andover to hard-workers who are ready and open to a challenge.

As an alumni and parent of a student at Andover I can honestly say one will not find a better education anywhere in the US or abroad. PA is supportive in almost every way imaginable.

Its the arguably the best of the elite prep schools, and for good reason. It felt less pretentious to me than the other boarding prep schools, and decades later, I am always so impressed by the incredible things PA grads are doing and saying. The experience itself opened my world.

Andover was a great high school experience that shaped the way I look at the world, and I couldn't have asked for a better high school experience. The teachers and staff at the school care immensely about the futures of their students, and the institution reflects this. Andover is also always willin...
