Academic Support

At Exeter, you’ll find yourself learning around a Harkness table, with a small group of classmates. Your teacher will guide you — both as a group of learners, and as an individual.

From day one, you’ll work closely with your adviser. You’ll meet regularly — at least weekly, but often more frequently — to discuss everything from coursework to social life and personal concerns. Faculty members live in housing on campus or nearby, making it easy to check in with advisers and other faculty as often as you want. For some students, that’s daily. Advisers connect with parents, providing an essential link between family and school.

Sometimes students need a bit of extra help in an academic subject. Teachers are always available to answer questions and provide help related to specific courses. Many students seek assistance from peers — often tutors in The Learning Center or friends who have already taken the subject. And Learning Specialist Jonathan Nydick works with students in select content areas and in study skills development, including memory, note-taking, test-taking, reading and time management.

Students with disabilities who are otherwise qualified for admission to Exeter will be supported with documented accommodations that are consid­ered reasonable in this educational setting. Requests for accommodations should be made to Jonathan Nydick, learning specialist and coordinator of academic support. See the Ebook for more information on applying for accommodations.
