How to Apply to Exeter Summer

Exeter Summer Dates: 
July 3 - August 4, 2023

Students need to attend the entire 5 weeks of the program and be between the ages of 13 and 18 years old on September 1, 2023.

IMPORTANT FOR ALL APPLICANTS
The Exeter Summer Admissions Committee will not consider an application until all required materials have been received. It is the responsibility of the applicant and family to ensure that all materials are submitted promptly. Late or missing documents may jeopardize a candidate’s chances of admission.

Note to Parents
Exeter Summer urges parents not to encourage their children to attend unless the student is strongly motivated to do so. A student who enrolls reluctantly is unlikely to have a happy or productive experience.

Apply Early
Exeter Summer has a rolling admissions policy and reviews applications once they are complete. We begin to accept qualified applicants starting in January and continue until the application closes. As programs and courses fill, enrollment into those programs and courses cease; this can occur well before the application close date. It is strongly advised that candidates submit applications early to increase their chances of getting their first choice of cluster/course selections. Once we have reached school capacity, the Admissions Committee establishes a waitlist.

Interviews and entrance examinations are not normally required. Exeter Summer does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, or ethnic origin in the administration of educational policies, hiring practices, or athletic and other administered programs.
