PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS
Congratulations on your decision to interview and tour Phillips Exeter Academy! We'd like to provide you with some helpful information about our inn and the surrounding area.

For the student, it is important to get plenty of rest and be well fed before the interview. Our accommodations are similar to that of home: a wonderful bed and room, relaxing atmosphere, and hearty breakfast to get you on your way!

Should you have an early appointment at admissions we can accommodate your special breakfast needs. We serve a full sit-down breakfast at 8:30 (9:00 on weekends), however, should you require something earlier, we can make arrangements with notice.

Many families stay two nights with us during the interview process. After the interview, which usually lasts no later than 1:00 pm,  you can take time to explore Exeter and the Seacoast area. This can give the prospective student a chance to see the area. Many guests tell us that this is just as important as the tour of the school itself. We can provide you with things to do and see during your stay.

Walking
The academy is just a short walk from the inn. Out the front door, head up Front St. Just past the post office, is the Library and the Admissions Office is just past the Library on the left side of the street in a white house.

Driving
Should you rather drive, exit the municipal parking lot in the rear by taking a right, and then another right onto Court St. At the stop sign, take a left. Just past the post office, is the Library and the Admissions Office is just past the Library on the left side of the street in a white house.


CURRENT STUDENTS
We value our relationship with current students and parents and look forward to seeing each and every one of you throughout the year... whether it be a long weekend visit, or during fall semester drop-off, parents' weekend, college weekend, and graduation. Rest assured, we are here to make your visit as pleasant as possible so you may get the most out of seeing each other. Should students prefer to stay in their dorm rooms while parents are here, please know they are welcome at breakfast which is always free!

For parents finding it difficult to get away, staying with us can be a "working vacation" by utilizing our fax service and free wireless Internet. Staying away from home and work has never been easier!

Many of our weekends are full during special events. Be sure to book a year in advance to ensure your room reservation is in place. (reservations cannot be taken for longer that a year away) For parents weekend or graduation weekend, should the amount of reservations exceed the amount of rooms available, a lottery is held on Sunday night of the current respective weekend. The number if times your name is entered into the "hat" is based on the amount of stays you've had with us. For example, five previous stays will enter your name into the hat five times.

Special event and high season weekends require two and three night minimums and special rates are in effect. Your innkeeper can tell you the minimum stay requirement for each weekend. It is also important to note, that the high season begins on the last weekend of April  and runs through October.
