Peabody Programs
Phillips Academy is the only secondary school in the nation that can count an archaeology institute among its resources.
The foundation for our students' education lies in the classroom, but our philosophy is that experiential learning is the most effective and enjoyable way to build knowledge. Lectures and books cannot substitute for exploring ruins firsthand, being immersed in vibrant and diverse cultures, or personally excavating artifacts that have been untouched for centuries.
Art, biology, history, mathematics, classic and world language departments all collaborate with the Peabody to develop unique class experiences integrating the 600,000 artifacts within the collection.
Andover students enjoy numerous opportunities to take advantage of the institute’s resources. They will likely be brought here multiple times by their faculty in a number of departments, for a class visit. They can also choose to come here themselves by developing an independent study; applying to be a Peabody Scholar; signing up for work duty; volunteering; or organizing student club activities.
