Refund Policy

The Phelps School must contract for its faculty and other services on an annual basis. Therefore, the School has established the policy that once a boy is enrolled, he is entered for the school year. It is also agreed that no reduction or refund of fees is made for delay of entrance, failure to matriculate, suspension, absence, dismissal, or withdrawal.

Sibling Tuition Reductions

When two brothers are attending The Phelps School simultaneously, there is a twenty percent (20%) reduction for the younger boy.
