Youth from Every Quarter
Educating youth from every quarter has been an Exeter hallmark since its founding in 1781. We continue this tradition today by bringing together talented, curious students from around the world and from all backgrounds to celebrate and learn from each other’s differences.
Harkness is grounded in the belief that we are all better equipped to learn and to lead when our thoughts are tested by others, particularly those whose thoughts or identities are different from our own. Community dialogue is essential to Exeter’s commitment to become an anti-racist school.
