Phelps accepts a small number of international students each year, and our ESL program provides valuable assistance for those who need to improve their proficiency in the English language. It is a highly individualized program encompassing all ability levels. Students who do not speak English as their primary language are monitored regularly to assess their progress.

Phelps is a small school with an enrollment of 150 boarding and day boys in grades 7-12 and a few post graduates. Our safe campus is situated in a quiet, rural setting just 22 miles west of Philadelphia and approximately two hours from New York City and Washington, DC. We have a number of students from different parts of the world who add much to the life of the School, and everyone benefits from day-to-day contact with boys from other cultures.
