Information

As articulated by our mission statement, "The Phelps School is dedicated to a personalized education for the boy who seeks success academically, personally, and socially.This philosophy of dedication to the total development of each boy is accentuated by the disciplined atmosphere, small classes, and daily tutorial support." 

In our 63rd academic year, we continue to pioneer those pedagogic methods which facilitate academic, personal, and social success.  Having interviewed hundreds of students during the admissions process, we know that the idea which inspired Norman T. Phelps, Sr. to begin a school "dedicated to the individual boy" has never been more relevant than it is today.  The Phelps School 's time of educating boys according to their interests and abilities has come.

Please spend the time necessary to become more familiar with the advantages of a Phelps education, and then call our Admissions Office to learn more about this rare educational opportunity.
