Registration is accessed through an online portal from The Bishop's School website beginning Mar. 10. If you have questions, contact summer-school@bishops.com. For questions about financial aid, please contact Chrissy King. Registration FAQs and tips may be found below and here.
Best practices to follow while registering online include: using a laptop or desktop; ensuring only one parent or guardian is logged in; using one browser or tab and making sure the browser is up-to-date; and refreshing your screen until you are able to login and register.
We make every effort to enroll a student in the registered section of the class, e.g., morning or afternoon for health and religion classes. However, for classes with high enrollments, we cannot guarantee placement in the requested section and a waitlist may be required. Please reach out via email to Ben Duehr if a class appears to be closed or no longer available, and we will try to accommodate your request. Classes with low enrollment are subject to cancellation, and students will be offered other options.
Registration FAQs and Tips
Q: How do I know I have successfully completed registration?
A: You should receive an automated confirmation email from our system within minutes of your completed registration confirming the classes for which you have signed up.
Q: The class I would like to register for cannot be selected (it is probably full). What should I do?
A: If there is another time that the class is offered and your child can attend that session, even if it is less desirable, select and register for that class session. Contact Ben Duehr to get on a waitlist for the class and time you’d prefer and he will contact you if a place becomes available.
Q: What should I do if the class I’d like to sign up for is full and my child can’t attend another session?
A: Contact Ben Duehr to get on the waitlist for the class and time you’d prefer and he will contact you if a place becomes available. Spaces are limited and some classes will fill.
Q: How can I ensure that the upper school classes I want to register for have been secured?
A: When selecting a session (Upper School Half Day Session AM, for example), click the green “Add to Cart” button and then select the desired class (click “Add to Cart” again for that desired class). If, when you check out, a course name doesn’t appear, go back and ensure you’ve selected a course and that your payment reflects the tuition of that class.
Q: The pricing for the middle school and elementary school enrichment classes are showing as $300 per class. How do I adjust the pricing for this?
A: Package pricing applies to classes taken in the same session only. You can use a discount code in your cart during the registration process. If you sign up for two classes in a session, add “2class” when prompted. Three and four classes can be discounted by using “3class” or “4class” as appropriate.
Q: Do we have to pay the registration fee for athletic camps?
A: No – registration fees are only charged for academic and enrichment classes. If your child is registered for both camps and classes, the fee still applies. If your child is only signed up for a camp, you can use the discount code “ATHLETICS.”
Q: The discount code did not seem to work or I can’t get the pricing corrected properly. What should I do?
A: All registrations are reviewed and discount codes will be applied appropriately for your convenience. If anything needs to be adjusted or corrected, your payment will reflect the appropriate amount once reviewed. Feel free to contact Ben Duehr if you have any concerns about discount codes.
Q: The class(es) I would like to register for are not available. What could be happening?
A: It is possible that the classes will fill up and at that point they will “close” and you won’t be able to select the class anymore. See instructions above for waitlist instructions.
Q: The class(es) I would like to register for are not visible. What could be happening?
A: Select the grade your child will be in NEXT school year (2025-2026). For classes where it is grade restricted, only those students going into the appropriate grade next year will be able to view/register.
Q: If I pay by check, is my class registration guaranteed?
A:Your child’s class is not guaranteed to you until the School has received your payment. If you wish to pay by check, a grace period of seven days is given to you to allow time for you to send in the payment.
Q: I qualify for financial assistance. How should I proceed?
A: If you believe you qualify for financial aid, choose the “pay by check” option and communicate with Chrissy King to let her know you’ve registered for classes. She will make adjustments to your balance then notify you to complete your payment using the method of your choice. If this situation applies to you, complete the registration process to secure your spot and promptly make your payment following the balance adjustment.
