A PreACT exam will be held Saturday, January 18, 2025

This exam is for 10^th grade Phillips Academy Students only.

The PreACT is a preview to the ACT.  It tests the same skills and knowledge and can be a predictor of how one would score if they took the ACT.  This test does not count in the admissions process and scores are only sent to students. The PreACT results together with the practice PSAT can be a guide toward the standardized test a student pursues in the college admissions process. 

Registration runs 12/4 to noon Wednesday 12/18 

Students are emailed a registration link.

The cost is $29 and will be deducted from the Course Materials Account. (This is an internal tuition account, not the Blue Card.)

Registrations can be cancelled until Friday, December 20^th at noon. Please contact [email protected] to cancel.  “No-Shows” will be charged if you don’t cancel.

Test Details: 
Saturday, January 18, 2025
7:45am-approx 12:00pm
Snyder Center

Please join us for Zoomin' with Shuman to learn more about Andover and the application process!

Jaceil Britton ’25

CAMD Scholar

Free and open to the public

CAMD Scholar Jaceil Britton 25’ uncovers a history of government failures to protect communities from harm—revealed by case studies of environmental racism that resulted in the disproportionate exposure of Black and brown families to toxins through contaminated water.

The personal stories emerging from these interrelated case studies speak to how local problems are dealt with at the city, state, and federal levels, illuminating rational reasons for a lack of trust in federal support. 

In the Andover tradition of “taking the day on,” we are pleased to offer several workshop opportunities for faculty, staff, and administrators on Monday, January 20, 2025, during our 36th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration.

MLK Day Keynote Speaker: Rachel Howzell Hall, the critically acclaimed author and Los Angeles Times Book Prize finalist for And Now She’s Gone, will be the keynote speaker for Martin Luther King Jr. Day at 9 a.m. in Cochran Chapel.

A past member of the board of directors for Mystery Writers of America and a featured writer on NPR’s acclaimed Crime in the City series and the National Endowment for the Arts weekly podcast, Howzell Hall writes mysteries and crime novels depicting the Black experience in Los Angeles.
