Summer 2024

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.

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.  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.
