The Phelps School, located in Malvern, Pennsylvania, is a private, nonsectarian boarding and day school for boys in Grades Six through Twelve with an additional Post-Graduate Program.
History
Dr. Norman T. Phelps founded The Phelps School in 1946, fulfilling his dream of starting a Pennsylvania boarding school to give boys the attention they need to reach their potential.
Academic Support Program
The Academic Support Program is a signature program of The Phelps School for over 40 years. For boys with learning differences, the Academic Support Program focuses on four key areas: English, reading and writing, mathematics, and organizational and study skills.
Akiba incident
In a 2003 basketball game against Akiba Hebrew Academy it was alleged that spectators used antisemitic slurs against Akiba players and the Akiba coach challenged the Phelps coach to a fight, leading to an altercation in a parking lot after the game. Both school administrations denied the allegations of wrongdoing. Two weeks after the incident, teams and administrators from both schools met for a day-long meeting to discuss the incident.
Both Akiba Hebrew Academy and Phelps still regularly compete against each other on the court and on the field in the Tri-County Independent School League.
