Welcome to College Counseling at Andover!

The college counseling program at Phillips Academy is firmly grounded in the belief that discovering good matches between students and post-secondary institutions is what the college admissions process is all about. This process is an exciting one, filled with opportunities for self-discovery, but it can also be a time of some anxiety for students and parents. In the winter of their 11th-grade year, students are linked with our team of college counselors, who assist them with every facet of the 18-month adventure ahead.

Our portion of the Phillips Academy Web site is designed to complement this personal relationship and provide resources for students and parents who want to learn more about our office and the events we sponsor. Our Web site also offers access to a wealth of information on the World Wide Web concerning financial aid, testing, areas of academic interest and the Web sites of colleges and universities via our links.

To begin your investigation of our Web site, I invite you to read our Statement of Purpose. Parents and students, please be sure to look regularly at the newsletter that relates to you so you can check what's new in college counseling. You can also see to which institutions our graduates have matriculated.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about college counseling at Andover. We look forward to working with you and welcome your questions and concerns.

Sincerely,

John Anderson
Director of College Counseling
