Phillips Academy (Andover)
Phillips Academy, commonly known as Andover, was founded in 1778 by Samuel Phillips Jr., making it one of the oldest incorporated schools in the United States, predating even the country's own founding as an independent nation by a matter of months. The school's history includes a notably early commitment to expanding access, and its alumni include two U.S. presidents from the same family, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, alongside numerous other prominent figures across politics, business, and the arts. Andover's extensive campus includes its own archaeological museum, art museum, and observatory, reflecting an unusually resource-rich institutional history built up over nearly two and a half centuries of continuous operation and alumni philanthropy. Phillips Academy's combination of its status as one of the nation's oldest schools and its multi-generational presidential and prominent alumni lineage has made it one of the most historically significant boarding schools in the country.
VS
Choate Rosemary Hall
Choate Rosemary Hall was formed in 1971 through the merger of two previously separate single-sex schools, the Choate School for boys and Rosemary Hall for girls, creating one of the more prominent coeducational boarding schools among historically single-sex New England institutions. The school's most famous alumnus is likely President John F. Kennedy, who attended the Choate School and whose Kennedy family connection remains closely associated with the school's identity, alongside other notable alumni including playwright Edward Albee and numerous prominent journalists and public figures. Choate's arts programming, including its Paul Mellon Arts Center, reflects a particularly strong institutional emphasis on visual and performing arts alongside its academics, distinguishing its specific institutional character among peer boarding schools with more purely academic-focused reputations. Choate Rosemary Hall's combination of its historic 1971 merger into coeducation and its association with the Kennedy family has made it one of the most prominent boarding schools in American history.
