Amazing education at Delphi! I sent my third grader here after k-2nd grades in public school and couldn’t be happier. The individual based education has been well beyond my expectations and the immediate academic and personal growth I see in my child is priceless. Staff is super friendly and very in tune with each child’s individual needs. I highly recommend this school. More...

Delphian School is a great school. My son went there for 2 years. In that 2 years when he was 14 and 15 he got more education corrected and done that he needed very little classes to graduate a regular high school. He loved music and soccer and got to do both, performing in a band. The school was nice to come visit, we give it a 5 star rating for excellence! More...

I graduated from the Delphian School in 2001, and I can say I received an education there that set me up to succeed in life. And that's something you are not going to find anywhere else. I speak from the experience of having attended seven different schools in the span of eight years before I went to Delphian, owing to a lot of moving to different houses and towns while growing up. No other public or private school offered the kind of lifelong learning I found at Delphian. More...

Visited Delphian yesterday. In a world where students are force-fed as if we are seeking educational foie gras, Delphian makes education personal and empowers students to become lifelong learners. Seeing the kids throughout the day, there's no way to deny the success of the method. And to share ideas with such an open-minded but confidently-directed staff, well, I am impressed. More...

Both my children attend Delphian - apart from the excellent, personalized learning opportunities (my son, for instance, attends a daily algebra seminar with a group of middle school students who are advanced in mathematics), there are so many co-curricular activities and classes available to the students. My daughter who is only 8, goes on at least two field trips a month, gymnastics every week and is involved in science classes and art classes on a regular basis.
Highly recommend! More...

I graduated from Delphian in 1985, with honors. Delphian provided a very well rounded education that gears students toward application in the real world. And they still do! Better than ever! Two of my children attend there, one has graduated, and now my grandson is attending at Delphian. My children are very happy, able, love to learn and create. Delphian staff and families have created and perfected that type of school environment over the last 40 years. From this, I see a brighter future for all. I wish all children had this available to them. More...

What to say? Delphian is one of the best, if not the best, solutions for a young person preparing for life. I say simply "solution" rather than using "academic" solution or any other modifier, as Delphian truly covers all bases. Yes, they are academic giants (how about a program where each student gets 100% in order to "pass" anything), but they're so much more. Life activities, practical assignments, social engagement, field trips (near, far -- global), athletics and physical development, opportunities to excel at every turn -- Delphian is a full-on, getting-ready-to-be-amazing-at-life solution. I love it. And I guess, maybe, that would be the thing I would emphasize most. The love. The absolute caring for each and every kid, the pure safety of the environment, the positive encouragement and validation as each young person makes their way toward self discovery and plots their way into the future ... honestly, if Delphian were teaching how to stack rocks it would still be the most amazing place to be. I would totally have my son there learning to stack rocks. :-) So, what to say? Go to Delphian, that's what I say. Your future will never be the same. More...

My son attended Delphian School for almost 5 years and graduated in 2009. While, it was one of the most incredibly difficult times for me as a parent - I do love my son - it was also the most rewarding. To watch them take him from feeling incompetent to thriving in his fields of interest was amazing. It wasn't an easy ride in confronting his own pitfalls, but they truly helped foster his true abilities and now he's living his creative dreams. The Delphian program instills the drive that is lacking in today's educational institutions. I would not trade the experience and product they helped me get for the world! More...

My daughter has gone to the Summer at Delphian program for the last two summers and she is very excited to be going again this year.
She just loves the style of teaching, her grades improve each time she goes to Delphian.
It's hard to put in words but there is something about the way the staff and other students treat each other with such respect and willingness to let each other "own" the school. Everyone's ideas are listened to and each person is given ways of contributing to the school that makes them really a part of the group.
My plan is to send my daughter to Delphi when she is a little older and she is super excited about this and wants to start right now! More...

I graduated from Delphi in 2012. My experience during my four years there completely changed my view about the world. Coming from an exam-driven system in China, I used to think getting the best grades was the single most important thing in education. I used to compete with others and felt miserable going to school though I attended the one of the top middle schools in my city. However, I learned what education really meant as I went through the program. The program sparked my curiosity to learn not only just as a student in schools; it also motivates me to be a lifelong learner and self-determined, independent thinker. It was my experience at Delphi that made me believe in the power of education. I hope to become an educator one day myself to create better education for others. I'm now getting my Master's in education and have been studying about education policy, personalized learning and creative learning. I have to say that Delphi truly has the best education. More...

As an alumnus of the school (class of 2010), my firsthand experience was, and is, nothing short of spectacular. I can say that going to The Delphian School was a vital part of making me the man I am today and an intrinsic part to the success I have been able to achieve once graduated. I am also happy to say that my little brother and sister are currently attending the school, and my future children will as well :)

The curriculum is crafted with genius. The education on a fundamental level (mathematics, reading, science, etc.) is broad yet thorough and resulted in me being able to truly understand and apply the information I was taught. Additionally, there is an aspect of the education that is beyond the normal. It comes in the form of unique courses, projects, challenges and responsibilities that engaged me and formed in me a real ability to operate in an organized way and with integrity, ethics, leadership, tenacity and willpower that I find unmatched with those I interact with now in life.

As a child that was very homesick, I actually got over that quickly and the boarding aspect of the school instilled a sense of independence in me, as well as friends for life. And the staff of the school and the way the school is run are a paragon of true educators that care for the future generation and have dedicated themselves to the pure purpose of help.

The school is beautiful inside and out! And as you can see, I can't recommend it highly enough More...

I graduated from Delphian in 2010. I received an excellent education that prepared me for college, my career and life in general. The experience I had was amazing.

The staff are incredible at giving individual attention to each student making sure you understand and can use your education in life. Each student is given control of their education and can mold it to fit their interests in life. As a creative person, this was invaluable for me.

The education program is competency based, each student studies at their own pace and passes when they can understand and apply their education in real life situations. Pointless memorization to pass a tests is not the Delphian way.

I was enrolled in a public school prior to attending Delphian and I know I would not be the same person if I had graduated from that system. I cannot thank Delphian enough for the education I received and cannot wait till my 8 month old daughter is old enough to attend Delphian as a student! More...

I am a junior at the Delphian School. I started in middle school and have been a student for four years. I have improved so much and learned so much! One of the first things that you get from Delphi is you learn how to learn. I never really thought about studying as a subject you have to learn, but it is very important. If you are going to be learning all day it is important to know how to learn correctly with the best results. I not only learned how to use this for myself but to help others with this as well.
At Delphi I am always doing so many activities that challenge me and I have changed so much. When I first came to Delphi I was very shy and the idea of leading a group or even talking to a group of people was very scary. Over these few years I have done projects where I have taught a class, organized an activity, ran a dormitory for Middle and Elementary School students, ran a club, met with Senators and Representatives about important issues and even more.
This summer I am doing an internship at the school. Every day I do all kinds of activities from teaching a drama class to giving tours. One of my favorite jobs is running my dorm. The girls in my dorm are from 8-12 years old and they are so fun! One of the unique things about Delphi is that it feels like a family with all of the students and even the staff members. Our dorm has become like a family even within a couple days of knowing each other.
Delphi continues to challenge me and all of its students, and I am excited for another school year at Delphi! More...

I cannot say enough about the Delphian school and what they have done not only for my sons education but for our family dynamic all around ! When we enrolled our son at the Delphian School in January he was a bit behind academically . His previous school had reported that he had passed his academic levels in math , reading , writing , etc but they had actually taken him through without him really retaining and comprehending the data . In less than a few weeks his teacher at the Delphian School had taken him back to where he did understand the data and moved him through the books ensuring along the way he could actually duplicate and apply it. My son is actually reading now !!! Proud mom over here !! They take field trips , they get to be in a science lab , do pottery, cook, and explore the beautiful lands around the school ! He is busy all day long and when i pick him up at the end of the day he is so happy , talkative , and engaging !! My husband and i are so impressed and our home life has just been thriving even more !! The staff at the Delphian School are the kindest , most loving , and caring people that take such amazing care of the students ! They email me , text me , send me photos and keep me informed daily! The exchange is above and beyond! This is truly the best school on the planet ! More...

I brought my son to Delphian when he was second grade age. He had been behind in (and hated) math, and was having at least some difficulty in a number of different areas. After he got his first program from Delphian and started on it, he began to love math, and his progress in that subject forwarded about a year and a half in just a few months.My son is now in the upper school, and he has attended Delphian the whole time. I could go on and on (and on) about my son's academic progress since we first arrived, but I will sum it up to say that his education has been phenomenal - he loves school, is quite meticulous about his work and has progressed beautifully. In fact, in a number of areas he is far more educated than I am. As an example of this, he corrects my grammar on a regular basis! =)At almost 15 years of age, he has decided that his direction in life is to become a writer. His writing - due to his education - is wonderful! He has been writing books on his own, and loves to use his imagination and articulates it in his writing beautifully.In addition to his educational progress, his attitude toward life is quite positive, his level of responsibility is far higher than I would have ever dreamed it would be - especially for someone his age.After years at Delphian, I can say that I would never, ever, ever even consider having him at another school. I absolutely love the environment, the staff are wonderful and the fact that they help kids toward their passionate directions in life is like a dream come true.I am forever grateful for what Delphian has done not only for my son, but their guidance has actually helped our entire family.

This school is different from traditional schools because the focus is on mastery-based learning and really understanding the purpose for what you're studying. Each time a student starts to study something, there's a discussion about how that subject will applied in real life, beyond the classroom. I love this because it makes everything relevant, and it puts the focus on real life. There's also a real emphasis put on catching difficulties at the moment they happen, vs. waiting a week or a month or a year to find out that the student missed something. The teachers are aware of the signs of mis-understanding, and they come right over to help clear it up. Both of my children go to school here and they are doing better than any other school they've ever been to. Highly recommended. More...

I am a senior at the Delphian School. I have been going here ever since I left Yemen when I was eleven. My time here has been a rollercoaster that has made me someone I am proud of. I used to be a little boy who was full of energy but got himself into trouble with it. As the years have gone by, I have been challenged by the program in many ways. Academically, I have always had this viewpoint that I was much better practically so I compromised with myself on my production and quality of work in the classroom. This wasn’t a problem at first but as I started to expand practically, I noticed that there was useful information I could take from the classroom into other parts of my life. This realization has surged my production, quality of work and has changed my viewpoint on my academic ability for the better.I have really enjoyed being on student council throughout the years and have learned valuable things along the way. I have learned that shortcuts are a disservice to yourself and others around you, being a leader involves helping and providing for a group instead of just commanding them. Campus life, playing soccer in the rain and spending long nights studying, I have created memories that I will remember for the rest of my life. This place will hold a special place in my heart.

Moved up from Los Angeles to get away from traditional teaching. My 8 year old daughter and 11 year old son attend the day school. The main draw was the fact that students are not taught to pass tests but can only move forward when they can show they can apply what they learned. It's called proficiency based teaching. My kids can move quickly on some subjects while taking a little more time on others. I also love the student council program that prepares students to take on leadership roles and learn how to effectively work with others. More...
