Non sibi. Not for self. Paul Revere forged this motto into Phillips Academys original seal 230 years ago. Whether it is helping a classmate with a difficult math homework, taking on a leadership role in a school club, or participating in the dozens of service learning projects that take us into local neighborhoods and around the world, non sibi is a way of life.

Because this is a high school that celebrates difference and prizes originality. Because at Andover you can be your most honest, authentic, daring self.
