Exeter is widely considered among the preeminent boarding schools in the world, alongside Phillips Academy in Andover, MA and Eton College in England. It is considered by many to be one of the finer high schools in America, and it is perhaps most well known for its demanding and rigorous academics. Graduates typically matriculate to the elite colleges, a tradition that has solidified long-standing relationships with Ivy League and other prestigious liberal arts colleges; a traditional, though informal, association exists between Exeter and Harvard University. However, similar to the relationship between Phillips Academy and Yale University, this traditional association has declined in recent years. Eighty percent of the students board, living in on-campus dormitories or houses, with the remaining twenty percent being day students from the surrounding communities.
