Why Choose Delphian School?

• Real Life Learning
Our goal is to empower our students to take responsibility for their education and their lives. Delphian students don’t just learn facts; they gain abilities that prepare them for the realities and challenges of life. Though subjects range from the more theoretical to the very practical, students study to acquire information they can use.

• Personal Attention
Every academic program is individually designed to best cater to the student's academic needs and interests. Our faculty excel at keeping students motivated and on track with their studies, and you can be assured that each student receives highly personal attention.

• Independent, Flexible Learning
Our students are actively engaged in learning, studying independently and moving at the speed that is right for them.

• A non-religious school accepting students of all faiths
Delphian does not have any religious affiliation. Our community is made up of people from many different religious backgrounds and heritages. For example, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, Sikhs, and Taoists have all been or still are part of our diverse international community. In order for such a community to work and live well together, community members do not proselytize their faiths. In coordination with each child's parents, Delphian School helps arrange transportation to local churches, synagogues or temples on days of worship as required by a student's individual religious practice.

All Delphian students learn a method of study that emphasizes application of knowledge.  In the process, they learn to:

- Recognize and overcome barriers to full understanding
- Evaluate information for relevance and usefulness
- Successfully tackle any subject
