Registration is accessed here. If you have questions, contact summer-school@bishops.com. For questions about financial aid, please contact Chrissy King.

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 $250 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 (2023-2024). 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.

Small class sizes and personal attention enable students to learn in a comfortable and supportive environment. We offer morning and afternoon classes, and students can combine academic classes with athletic camps. All teachers and coaches are experienced in their fields. Many are full-time faculty at The Bishop’s School.

Tuition amounts are listed with each course description. Full payment of tuition is due at the time of enrollment in addition to a non-refundable $75 administrative fee per student for academic enrollment. Textbooks and other required materials may be purchased at the School’s bookstore or from other sources. For some classes, materials are provided. Financial aid awards apply to Bishop’s students only, and students will pay the same percentage of tuition that they will pay for the 2023-2024 academic year. Financial aid awards apply to tuition only and are applicable to certain courses only.  Please contact Chrissy King in the School’s Business Office to confirm if your child’s financial aid award applies.

Package Pricing for Academic Explorations and Academic Adventures

The more classes you take, the less you pay per class! The tuition for each enrichment class in the Academic Adventures (pre-grades 4-5) and Academic Explorations (pre-grades 6-8) programs is $250 for one class per two-week session. If a student enrolls in multiple classes per session, the total tuition is discounted: First class $250, second class, $175, third class, $150 and fourth class $125. All students must pay the $75 administrative fee in addition to the class tuition. No financial aid is available for the enrichment programs.

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.

All courses are subject to adequate enrollment. A 100 percent refund, including the $75 administrative fee, will be made for withdrawals due to canceled classes unless a student enrolls in a substitute class. The administrative fee is only refunded if there are no classes taken. Students will be offered other options if a class is canceled. Registration remains open until courses are filled. No refunds will be given if a student withdraws from a course or cancels their enrollment less than three weeks prior to the start of the course.

A student may withdraw from a for-credit course at any time. However, both tuition and the $75 administrative fee will be forfeited. Students have one week after the start of the course to withdraw without a transcripted record of enrollment, unless otherwise approved by the director. If a student withdraws after one week of classes, the School transcripts a WP (withdraw passing) or WF (withdraw failing). In classes where the School forces a withdrawal due to excessive absences or inappropriate behavior, no transcripted record will be noted.

To ensure that credit will be received for summer work, students who do not attend The Bishop’s School should consult with their home school counselors before enrolling. Transcripts will be sent to home schools at the end of the session. Contact Bishop’s Registrar Rachael Garcia with the name and address of the home school.

Students with missing or incomplete summer course work will be expected to make up any Incompletes no later than one week after the course ends. All academic policies from the Curriculum Guide apply in summer courses.

No refund of tuition or the $75 administrative fee will be given if a student is dismissed from the program due to a disciplinary issue and no credit will be given for the course(s).

All absences must be reported to the summer session office before start of class time on the day of the missed class by emailing summer-school@bishops.com. Parents or guardians will be contacted in case of an absence if the School has not received notification. Tardiness is disruptive and discouraged. For a for-credit course, e.g., health or religion, a student will be dropped after missing more than one day unless the absence is pre-approved by the director. Requests to split classes between sessions is discouraged and likely will not be approved. 

Students must exhibit good conduct and polices outlined in our Summer Handbook.  If students do not maintain appropriate behavior, they may be asked to leave campus and/or the program at the discretion of the director.

Enrichment class students and athletic camp athletes should not arrive at school more than 15 minutes before the beginning of their first class of the day nor stay later than 15 minutes after the end of their last class for the day. The School does not provide before or after school care.

No uniform is required, but attire must be modest and appropriate. The School reserves the right to require a student to dress appropriately.

Lunch service is available for a fee. A one week lunch rate is $60/week but if you register for lunch before April 14, you can lock-in a $50/week discounted price. Alternatively, a student can bring lunch, snacks and drinks from home. A snack bar in Bishop’s Bookstore with limited hours is available with small food items for purchase. Elementary and middle school students cannot leave campus during lunch or breaks between classes.

Each meal will be served with milk or juice, fresh fruit or ice cream. Below is a representative of what the daily lunch menu will look like:

• Pizza, Caesar salad and watermelon
• Quarter-pound beef or veggie cheeseburger with condiments and oven fries
• Spaghetti and meatballs or with marinara sauce and garlic bread
• Beef and potato burrito or cheese quesadilla with rice, beans and salsa
• Breaded chicken fingers with macaroni and cheese and broccoli 
• Daily salad option with protein

School transportation may be available if enough students are interested. Please contact Matt Baranowski  for information about bus/van routes and costs.
