I am very happy about the fact that even though I am far away I am always so well informed by all of you regarding any concern or matter related to my daughter. Delphian's caring approach towards the well being of the students is so praise worthy and has won my heart as a parent. It reflects truly as a whole the essence of integrity of the school. S.P.
Delphian School's summer program saved my daughter academically and repaired her responsibility for her studies.
I had been home-schooling my daughter since 4th grade, but by the time she was heading to high school, we were concerned. She didn't like to work, didn't like to study, didn't like to write, do math or just learn in general.
We made the decision to send her to Delphian School for the summer program and everything changed for her. She came back home a mature, productive student and more mature as a person in general.
I am so happy with Delphian School for working their magic on my daughter and really, giving her back to me and my husband. She is our child again now, our beautiful, creative, productive student and daughter.
"All I can say is my daughter LOVES IT AT DELPHI!!!!
"She sounds so wonderful every time I get a chance to visit with her! She has nothing but positive things to say, even when there is conflict, because it is handled with so much care and love by everyone.
"My daughter loves the learning environment at the school (I knew a self-paced approach to learning would be right for her). She sounds so engaged in the learning process and tells me how her vocabulary is growing, explaining to me her new understanding of how misunderstood words can affect every aspect of communication and learning.
"Delphian is a place for her to grow so she may find her own voice and strengths...and weaknesses. She is in such an emotionally safe environment so she may live in her ethics, and learn about conflict resolution and honesty. She is surrounded by a community of caring faculty, staff and students, so she may practice the skills of staying actively engaged in a community.
"My daughter's horizons have become even more limitless... and I can hear the awe and wonder of it in her voice...
"People ask me how I am doing since she left, and I tell them my face hurts from smiling so much because she is at the perfect place at the right time for her self-growth."
"We cannot say enough great things about Delphi's academic program. When we were on our
search for a high school in the Boston
area for our daughter, it was very frustrating. It was important to us
that our children were getting a similar message at school as they had been
raised with at home. We were not finding that in even the 'finest'
schools in our area. We attended an informational session on Study Technology,
which the Delphian School uses in its educational program. It made sense to us
and it was in alignment with many of the basic principles and philosophy that
we teach our children already. Sending our child 2000 miles away for high
school was not something in our plan, but after she attended the summer camp
program in Oregon, it
had literally changed her life, and we knew we had to work it out.
"Integrity is a huge focus with the students, as well as
teaching them to set goals and exceed those goals with the best level of effort
possible. The school uses many different tools to ensure the students really
understand what they are learning in a practical way and aren’t just memorizing
facts for tests. There is a fantastic academic program in place, and we are hugely impressed with the positive reinforcement these kids receive on a daily
basis. It is like attending a motivational/positive thinking seminar
everyday of class; how powerful is that for a child from a young age to
get that on a daily basis at school!
"Our daughter has flourished academically as well
as personally from the nurturing and positive environment that is evident
in the Delphi community. We would encourage
anyone to learn more about Delphi." S.T.
"I have to say the Delphian School saved my son's life!
After just his first year there, something magical has happened. His interest
in the world around him has expanded greatly, and he has become increasingly
responsible for ensuring he really understands what he's studying. Gone are the
times I had to push him to do more, as he is doing more on his own. He is
taking responsibility for his own life and for getting a meaningful education.
"Delphi has taken his innate leadership
qualities and made it safe for them to blossom. I cannot thank all of the staff
enough for what they have done for my son and for me. As a mother, I cannot
imagine him being anywhere else for his education. I know he will be fully
prepared for anything he wants to do in life and that Delphi
will have given him the tools for success." R.S.
"I chose the Delphian School for my daughter because I wanted
a school that would teach her to live and operate in our rapidly changing world
of today. During one of my daughter's recent visits home, I was pouring over
some statistics and information in an attempt to remedy a challenging area of
my business. My daughter asked me what I was working on, and I explained the
difficulty I was trying to fix.
"She had taken a course at Delphi
on the subject of Logic. This course teaches students how to locate the cause
of a problem in an organization and then find ways to remedy it. Without any
hesitation, my daughter told me the steps she would take, based on her recent
studies, to identify the source of my problem. I had her sit down with me, and
together we followed each of the steps she pointed out. The solution we came up
with was EXACTLY correct. I was flabbergasted with her facility in using the information
she had just learned.
"I implemented the plan, and my company immediately
experienced a huge surge of income, as well as an increase in morale on the
part of myself and my employees.
"I have always been impressed with the skills and abilities my
daughter has acquired in her few years at Delphi,
but this one really astounded me. She was so competent and sure of herself, and
she could apply her knowledge toward a subject area that she didn't have
experience in (my business).
"To me it was worth millions to see my daughter act with such
certainty and effectiveness. What more could a parent want for their child!
"Thank you to everyone at Delphi
for the great work you are doing for each and every family that has their child
at your school!" D.M.
"After homeschooling our kids and trying other private
schools, we enrolled one of our daughters at the Delphian School in Oregon. Since attending Delphi, she has grown in more ways than she ever would
have at home. She has become the student body president and a great leader.
"I
really love the personal attention the students receive at Delphi,
but I also love the attention and care given to the parents. I see that the
Delphian School cares for the WHOLE family by staying in communication from all
departments. I regularly receive communication from the science, foreign
language, physical education, arts and senior faculty. My daughter loves being
independent and thrives in an ethical environment where students are highly
motivated to learn." C.E.
"I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of the staff at
the Delphian School for the incredible work you do, and particularly all that
you have done for my daughter. I am so
proud of all her accomplishments and what she has become. The Delphi Program
has enabled her to be the beautiful, intelligent, competent, confident and
giving person that she truly is.
"She’s always been very special to me – thoughtful, smart,
and funny in a soft spoken, subtle way. But when she arrived at Delphi, she was also shy, quiet, and content to sit in
the background. Through both the Delphi Program itself and the unique
environment you’ve created at the school, she has truly blossomed.
"The combination of the academic program, practical program,
student council and athletics have contributed to a very rich and valuable
educational experience. My daughter now has so many tools to help her achieve
her goals in life and in work. She has made lifetime friendships with some of
the most incredible teenagers I could know. They have an enduring bond because
of the special reality they share as Delphi
students." E.G.
