The basketball program at The Phelps School is one of the top boys boarding school basketball programs in Pennsylvania. Playing basketball at Phelps presents an opportunity to play in a competitive program against schools in southeast Pennsylvania to students hoping to play at a collegiate level. Our program also sets up students for future success in college basketball programs through exposure to college recruiters and offering a post-grad year before enrolling in college. With PAISAA championships in 2015 and 2024, and multiple PAISAA semi-final appearances, our boarding school basketball program boasts a winning record, even while competing in one of Pennsylvania’s most competitive regions for basketball.
