The biggest difference between SPS and Exeter for my son and husband was probably location. SPS is a beautiful rural campus, relatively isolated from the nearest city, Concord. Though PEA has green spaces and its own campus, it is intertwined with the town and the shops are close enough that students can pop into them in between classes.

Another difference is that SPS starts each day (I think) with nondenominational chapel. Exeter has required assembly twice a week and optional meditation and optional nondenominational chapel once a week.

Exeter uses the Harkness method in all classes. SPS uses it in some but not all.

I don’t know a thing about Loomis.
