Love Gym, Phillips Exeter Academy

I made a separate entry for the gym because I thought it was important that a good school has to have good sports facilities.  We toured a bit late so it was about to close already but we were able to see part of it and were impressed

Phillips Academy, Andover

By | Education, For kids, Travel | 4 Comments

The road trip started from New Jersey to Boston ( Boston, Massachusetts July 27, 2010 ) and from Boston we continued our educational tour ( Harvard University July 29, 2010 ) and took a peek at Phillips Andover in Andover.  A beautiful city and a nice environment for kids as it is very safe, a city with many greens, and a place with not too many distractions, therefore conducive to studying.  It was a saturday so there was no classes and no one was around to show us the campus.  So we just drove through

Harvard University

One of the highlights of the trip, Harvard University.   We wanted our sons to see the campus.  We want our sons to aim high, whether it be Harvard or some other institution that will give them the best education they can get!
