The "Phillips School" as it was first called, was open April 30, 1778 by Samuel Phillips. The present campus was built in 1865.  In 1807 the "Class in Theology" became a separate institution, the [[Andover Theological Seminary]].


In the 1940's Phillips Academy embarked on a mission to democratize education by offering scholarships to boys who would not otherwise be able to afford private school.  
The Andover-By-Pass (Route 125) was constructed to reduce traffic on the Phillips campus. Academy trustees under the leadership of Alum Thomas Cochran bought the land and the state constructed the road, which opened in 1931.
