Admission
Proctor's more than 135 academic courses, 30 sports and afternoon activities, 5 term-long off-campus programs, and more than 30 art electives give you the freedom to choose your own path through Proctor. Which path will you choose? 


Visiting Proctor’s campus is the best way to experience “the Proctor magic.” However, if you are unable to travel to Andover or you would simply like to learn more, we have developed a series of virtual admissions events that thoroughly explore our breadth of programming and school culture. Learn about all aspects of Proctor – our community, educational model, and the diverse array of opportunities, both on and off campus, that Proctor affords its students. 

Our virtual events are hosted by faculty and administrators but feature student panels! Over the course of eight virtual events, you will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage with current Proctor students, parents, and faculty.

Check out recordings from previously recorded 2022-2023 virtual events HERE and our Virtual Video Experience.

Which Path Will You Choose? An Academic Overview
Proctor’s unique academic curriculum is founded on the belief that academic challenge, overt support systems, and a preference for hands-on, experiential modes of teaching creates enduring learning for students. Each student, with the support of teachers, advisors, dorm faculty, and others, has the ability to create their unique Proctor experience. We will discuss how Proctor establishes a flexible plan that pushes students to reach their potential while supporting individual passions. A recording of this event is available HERE.

A World of Opportunities: Proctor's Off-Campus Programs
Proctor is widely recognized for national leadership in experiential education, and our off-campus programs are core to that distinction. To our community, off-campus programs are not separate, but integral to the Proctor experience, providing hands-on learning opportunities that allow students to truly connect to the content they are studying. 70% of Proctor students take part in term-long off-campus programs. These programs are directed by Proctor faculty and are fully funded by boarding tuition. Tune in to learn more about Ocean Classroom, Mountain Classroom, European Art Classroom, Proctor in Segovia, Spain, and Proctor in Costa Rica. A recording of this event is available HERE.
