This is a very nice school for me as an international student. I got friends from all over the world and it was an amazing experience for me. The teachers are friendly and warm. The school feels like a huge family altogether.

When I think of The Phelps School I think of being one big family. I had the privilege to attend Phelps as a high school student for three years. During those three years I was able to meet so many different people from all over the world and it is truly an honor to call them my brothers. The faculty and teachers at Phelps truly care about you as if you were one of their own sons. I had about three mothers on campus that I talked with on the daily. The relationships between the teachers and students what makes Phelps stand out from all the other boarding schools. Now I am giving back to Phelps by helping the boys here by sharing my experiences with them when I was a student. It is an honor to help these young boys and turn them into men. I am part of a very small group of Phelps alums who can say they have seen both sides. Phelps is all about changing lives for the better. I am proud to have that opportunity to lead these young men to greatness.

The Phelps School is an amazing place, and I feel privileged to work here. I have never seen a school with such a tight-knit community - among the students, the teachers, the staff, and their families. The students know that they are supported on every level and because of this they are able to achieve on a level that most have never experienced prior to coming to Phelps. It is a pleasure to see our boys grow into strong and confident young men.

The Phelps school emphasizes education and athletics while falling behind in every other regard. Teachers were often hired fresh from college (if even graduated) and rarely stayed more than a few years. They build new athletic facilities rather than upgrading any of the falling apart facilities or i...

The staff and basketball coaches are extremely invested in our son's development. They have played a pivotal role in his student-athlete development. More importantly, the environment has also placed high importance on the development of his character and leadership skills.
