WEEKLY MEDITATION Every week the campus comes together to hear a personal reflection given by a member of the community. In the spring, 11 courageous seniors are selected to present their narratives, crafted in English class over the winter term. An audience of students, teachers and staff gather to receive their words—and the personal experiences, poetry, or opinions they share. “ My senior winter English class became more of an extended family than any other class I took at Exeter. Together, we all embarked on the task of writing the ‘capstone’ project, a demonstration and personal implementation practicing good writing, effective reading and artful introspection. I worked on my meditation with my classmates and teacher, and I found myself returning to previous influential and inspiring English teachers throughout my Exeter career.” KIERAN, class of 2014 18 P H I L L I PS E X E T E R ACA D E M Y
