Proctor Academy, set in 2500 acres of picturesque rural campus in Andover, New Hampshire, is a private coeducational day and boarding school serving students in grades 9 through 12.
Founded in 1848, Proctor is widely recognized for national leadership in experiential education, and this philosophy expands beyond the classroom to more than 30 athletic programs and afternoon activities, to more than 30 art electives, to the relationships formed in dormitories and advisory groups, and to Proctor’s five off-campus programs around the globe.
At the heart of Proctor’s educational model lies supportive relationships between faculty and students. By redefining academic rigor as the process through which students push themselves beyond their comfort zones, students and faculty learn just how important trust is to learning. Honors and advanced placement courses complement non-traditional classes and challenging off-campus programs, allowing students and teachers to form relationships around shared interests.
