The Phelps School All Boys Boarding Information:
Mission
The Phelps School is dedicated to a personalized education for the boy who seeks success academically, personally, and socially. Our first obligation is to create a caring, sensitive climate which emphasizes the positive in every situation. The student's educational program is planned in terms of his individual capacity, ability, needs and interests. This philosophy of dedication to the total development of each boy is accentuated by the disciplined atmosphere, small classes, and daily tutorial support. The environment is consistent, supportive, structured and combined with challenge, care and honesty. The Phelps School is concerned with emphasizing the articulation and inculcation of personal moral values as an important part of our mission; educating the heart as well as the mind and body.
About Us
We are thoroughly aware that no two of our students are exactly alike, and no two have exactly the same needs. From the very first visit, we focus on getting to know each student well so we can help shape a course of study for him that will enable him to enhance his strengths and improve his skills. Our mission is to create a nurturing and responsive climate which will bring out the best in each student, help him gain self-confidence and acquire respect for those around him. This effort is strengthened by the "family" atmosphere, small classes, and a strong tutorial component. We also work to achieve a proper balance between every boy's academic performance and his physical, social, and moral development.
The Phelps School adheres to a longstanding policy of admitting students of any race, color, creed, religion, national or ethnic origin. We take pride in our diverse population, which is represented by students from many different states and countries.
Academics Overview
The Phelps School's boarding and day programs offer a well-rounded curriculum designed to prepare boys for the next step in life. We place strong emphasis on the fundamentals of reading, English, mathematics and science, as well as study skills.
Personal attention is a paramount concern, and an average class size of eight encourages every boy to participate freely and without pressure in classroom discussions. All teachers are assigned advisees whose progress they follow closely throughout the year.
