Employer Description
 
Located in Andover, New Hampshire, Proctor Academy is an independent boarding and day school for 380 students in grades 9-12. Its educational model combines a diverse campus-based academic program with unmatched off-campus experiential learning opportunities around the world that immerse students in different cultures and learning environments, helping them become truly global citizens.

Drawing inspiration from its motto “Live to Learn, Learn to Live,” Proctor Academy’s mission seeks to develop students whose lives demonstrate honesty, compassion, respect, and responsibility. While celebrating each student’s individual learning style, the school provides a challenging college preparatory curriculum augmented by five signature off-campus learning experiences and an integrated academic support program within a supportive community where adults and students call each other by their first name.

With over 135 academic courses, 30 art electives, and 30+ athletic teams offered, Proctor helps each student find and pursue their passions. At the heart of Proctor’s educational model are supportive relationships between faculty and students - in the classroom, dormitory, team, activity, and advisory. By redefining academic rigor as the process through which students push themselves beyond their comfort zones, students and faculty learn just how important trust is to learning, and that there is no better place to develop that
trust than at Proctor.

Diversity Mission Statement
 

At the core of the Proctor experience is a profound value for the relationships and bonds created across the school. Throughout its history, through visionary and bold intentions, Proctor has built and nurtured a community where everyone feels welcome and, as a result, feels compelled to bring their whole selves to the school. 

Proctor believes every community member deserves to be valued and accorded the environment to thrive. Borrowing from the Ubuntu philosophy (African humanist philosophy), we have recognized that when a community calls everyone in and creates a space of shared humanity, we can build bridges for stronger relationships within an interculturally competent community. These relationships are glued together by empathy and compassion for each other, especially those most marginalized, invisibilized to guarantee the healthiest community possible. However, we also recognize that building a community like this cannot be left to chance; therefore, we use the pillars below to guide our work which we call ‘Our Journey Together.’ 


The Office of Equity and Belonging, reimagined in 2022, is primarily responsible for supporting and advancing a school culture of inclusion of diverse perspectives, applying an equity lens to decision-making, and promoting the nurturing of belonging for everyone.
