As we flip the calendar to August, preparations for the 2023–2024 school year at Proctor Academy are well underway. The first students will arrive on campus September 1 and, in total, 385 students will attend Proctor this year, including 131 new students. Among those new students are 80 ninth graders, including 10 Andover students. In all, 39 students from Andover will attend Proctor this year.

Over the course of the first week of September, Proctor’s annual Wilderness Orientation program, a program that has run continuously for 53 years, will take every new student into the White Mountains for a five-day backpacking trip.
