Living at Summer Session

Andover Summer cultivates an environment where students are
independent and self-sufficient, yet they still receive ample guidance
and support from experienced and caring faculty. Residential students
live together in a variety of dormitories around campus. The dormitories
vary in size, ranging from five to 45 students with a house counselor
to student ratio of nine to one. The dormitories at Andover Summer are
more than just a place to study and sleep, they provide students with
the opportunity to develop lasting friendships and experiences.

All of the dormitories have wireless access, and students are
provided with a login and @andover.edu email address upon arrival. Every
dormitory room is outfitted with bed linens, a pillow, blanket, towels, and a fan. Laundry machines are available in most dormitories and are
pay-per-load; laundry service is available for an additional charge. The
Andover Summer Student Packing List details a range of items you should plan on bringing or purchasing locally.

We expect all students to come to Phillips Academy for a serious purpose and be prepared to engage in a challenging academic experience. Our Andover Summer Core Blue document reflects fundamental community standards and expectations for all students participating in summer programming offered at Phillips Academy. Rules and regulations, such as prohibitions on smoking and drug and alcohol use, are clearly noted in our Upper School and Lower School Handbooks which are made available to admitted students upon enrollment. Students sign a community agreement, thus committing to living honestly, safely, responsibly, and respectfully in a multicultural setting.
