You're looking at Phillips Exeter Academy which spans 471 acres in the town of Exeter.
Founded in 17-81 as a school for boys, it went "co-ed" in 1970.
The school is known for its academics and diverse student body.
Hello, I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook.
We're coming to you from the Phelps Science Center on the Phillips Exeter Campus.
The academy, which enjoys the reputation as one of the finest prep schools in the country, is known for its unique style of teaching.
We'll have more on that in a moment, we begin with a story that involves a recent visitor to this campus: The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Iraq, Justice Madhat Al-Mahmood
He spent a week in NH talking to different audiences about the work that's being done to re-build the court system in Iraq.
Outlook's Richard Ager spent some time with the Justice, whom he describes as a modest man attempting a monumental task.

script iconIntro Harkness
Return to index of stories...
Phillips Exeter pioneered a unique method of teaching involving the "the harkness table" -- where students and teachers are placed around an oval table.
It's been the hallmark of an Exeter education since 19-30.
Ty Tingley, the school's principal knows the harkness philosophy well.
Q What's the concept behind the harkness table?
Q NO LECTURES -- MOre discussion, students come to class prepared. No more HIDING in back of the room.
Q Evidence it works?
Q Provisions for testing, slats?
Q How did harkness philosophy influence secondary school education thru-out country?
Q Does this make students equal partners in their education? Learn from each other.
Q Classrooms are small to encourage participation?
Q This discussion style of teaching -- part of the school's identity.
TY TINGLEY -- thanks.
HARKNESS EDUCATION.75 years and going strong.

script iconIntro Teacher of year
Return to index of stories...
The Academy holds a science and technology conference every year to help high school educators stay ahead of the technology curve. It stresses lab-based environments where kids can learn by doing.
It's a philosophy not lost on Carolyn Kelley, an instructor at Exeter's Seacoast School of Technology, whose aim is to get students "passionate" about SCIENCE.
Kelley's been tapped as NH's 2007 Teacher of the Year.

AP-NH--Iraq-Judge CORRECTION,0165

Iraq judge meets with N.H. judges
nmlmanstrcon

xxx DELETES reference to son as being a judge xxx

CONCORD, N.H. - Under tight security at New Hampshire's
Supreme Court, Iraq's top judge told 200 people his country's
judicial system is making progress.
Madhat Al-Mahmood said last night that they are looking at the
constitution and what affects judges' independence.
Recently retired New Hampshire Supreme Court Justice Joseph
Nadeau, who has been advising judges in Iraq, arranged the visit.
Al-Mahmood was elected last year to head the nine-member Iraqi
Supreme Court, which is fashioned after the U.S. Supreme Court. He
said that under Saddam Hussein, Iraq had 700 judges. Now there are
a thousand. The number of women judges has increased from five
under Hussein to 28.
He said the roughly four thousand security officers hired to
protect judges are not enough, and that 22 judges have been
murdered.
Al-Mahmood's son also is among the Iraqis murdered. He blamed
outsiders for sectarian violence.
