整体情况:
- 学术顶级,大量高水平课程,很多课程的难度已经远超 AP,其所涉及到的领域和深度均已达到小型文理学院的水平
- 正因为课程选择多,而且数学和理科这两大方向课程设计极为复杂,例如预备微积分有普通和加速区别,而普通预备微积分分成了5门课,每门一个学期,而且还是不同的学期,所学内容环环相扣,相对难以跳过其中的某个课程,这就需要学生要仔细研究学校的课程,在选课的时候积极和学校进行沟通,巧妙的进行组合,争取选择合适自己的课程
学术优势/特色:
- 最大的特色就是课程极其丰富,而且涉及到领域和深度都非常广,例如12年级的英语课,有不同类型、不同时间段、不同地区、不同作者、不同题材的课程
- 跨学科课程:针对11和12年级的学生有很多跨学科的课程,让学生能结合两个甚至多个领域的相关知识,综合、对比着来学习,效果会更好,例如法律和文学,伦理和科技等,这些跨学科知识都是非常前沿的,高中生学习的话不仅仅能提升自己的思维和眼界,更是为将来的大学专业和学习打下坚实的基础
尚学明德学生反馈:
- 课程太多,选课困难
- 文科老师普遍来说要求都非常高,写作也多,所以对中国学生来说比较难拿高分
- 学校非常支持学生选择有挑战的课程,但是大家要客观评估自己,选择合适的课程,不要盲目的追求难度而影响了GPA
[学术方面] Andover的课程非常丰富,课程代码由100-600,通常100/200的课程是属于入门级别的,9/10年级的学生选的多一些。300/400是下一个难度级别的,11/12年级的学生选的多一些。500就相当于大学水平的难度了,600是最难的相当于大一水平的难度。学术挑战性大,课业负担大,老师的资源很丰富。我们有学生在9年级就有选500和400的课程,甚至600的课程。学校的老师对学生都非常用心和支持,比如物理课老师会介绍学生在天文物理相关领域各种各样的资源,包括和NASA project connect,new horizons mission, 以及和James webb telescope的人沟通,还有Iowell的 i heart pluto festival。老师和学生的关系很好,会给到学生很多类似很多这样的机会。学校录取IVY的很多,像今年的话有一个中国学生是早申请同时录取了MIT, Chicago,caltech,以及Yale的likely letter。 [生活方面] 学校食堂的煎饼果子很好吃,点外卖也很方便,Uber很容易打到。离波士顿不到半小时(不堵车的话),很方便,downtown有whole foods.假期的话,国际生可以选择住host family家,也可以住andover inn或者airbnb. Andover有很多town fair. [申请方面] 中国学生全校大概三十多个人吧,不算上ABC的话。录取andover的学生来自公立学校的还是比较少的,所以据我们的学生反馈融入都比较好。当然也有个别中国孩子退学的。 [课外活动和社团] andover的社团太丰富了,有200多个。大陆孩子一般挺多选学校校报,因为有很多职位和不同的部门;还有辩论社。舞蹈社团里面大陆的学生很少,我们有个学生在我们的指导下创建了亚洲舞蹈社团,这是andover第一个无需选拔的社团。体育项目比较强的应该有hockey swim track,每年都很多新成员加入。

If your target is top universities in the US, then I will definitely suggest Peddie, assuming your son is ready for discipline and independence at boarding school.

Andover and Exeter are related. Different members of the same family founded each school. Samuel Phillips founded Andover in 1778; his Uncle, John Phillips, founded Exeter in 1781, Hence, Andover is known as Phillips Academy (PA), and Exeter is called Phillips Exeter Academy (PEA). Andover and Exeter are also connected in the public imagination. In an episode of the Simpsons, a salesman at a fund raiser tries to sell Homer a t-shirt for the local school his children attend. When Homer refuses to buy that t-shirt because he does not want to be associated with that local school, the vendor says that his two best-selling t-shirts are "Phillips Springfield Andover" and "Phillips Springfield Exeter." As for Andover and Exeter, the important question is not which is the better school. It is which is the better school for you. That's a question of fit, and only you can answer that question for yourself. Some differences between Andover and Exeter are: A. Andover divides its dorms into five clusters; at Exeter, students typically remain in the same dorm until they graduate. B. Andover has a 1-6 grading system; Exeter has a 1-11 grading system. C. Andover offers need blind financial aid that admits applicants regardless of their financial background; Exeter is need aware. However, Exeter offers generous financial aid. D. Andover has one central dining hall; Exeter has two dining halls. E. Andover has fewer Saturday classes than Exeter. F. Exeter has a dress code; Andover does not. G. Last year, Andover had a lower admit rate, a higher yield, and (I believe) better college matriculation statistics than Exeter. Nevertheless, Exeter is extremely difficult to get into, very popular, and does exceptionally well in placing students into top colleges. H. Exeter prides itself on the Harkness Method (student centered discussions), which it typically uses in all classes, including Math and Science; Andover stresses critical thinking as well but does so through a wide range of teaching approaches that generally do not include the Harkness Method in Math or Science. I. Some people think Exeter has a nicer campus than Andover; others prefer Andover's campus. Both campuses are very nice. J. Some people say that Andover is better in the humanities than Exeter and that Exeter is better in Math and Science than Andover. I don't buy that theory. Both schools are generally excellent in all fields. K. Andover is closer to Boston than Exeter. Good luck! 如果有用不要忘记点赞哈
