Delphian School

Delphian is an amazing boarding school that creates competent leaders, artists, entrepreneurs, and most importantly learners. It's unique study program teaches students how to study by themselves at the best of their ability. It's different in a way that it gives individuals the essential skills of studying that no other place can offer. Students use those skills to work on their self-paced individual programs. Delphian offers a very broad practical program that is based on student's individual career interest. Students do numerous projects from community help to working with professionals in their career fields. Delphian has been an incredible journey for me and changed me as a person.

I just graduated from the Delphian School. I used to go to school in China, and I started my high school education here three years ago. I am so lucky that I chose Delphian and it chose me as well.I found so many intelligent and hardworking people at the school. I thought I was good in many areas before I came to the Delphian School, but I have seen students who are outstanding. I saw the gap between those people and me, and it encouraged me to work harder. The Delphian school is special because although everyone has his individual program, our purpose is the same. We learn from each other, practice to become more competent leaders, and to find out who we really are. We work hard for ourselves, not for anyone else. The Delphian School helped me learn to take higher responsibility, use myself as the resource to solve problems, lead others, keep my integrity and show my integrity. I am grateful for all my experiences here. The Delphian School has provided me opportunities to fail, to learn about myself and to restart. I used to believe that a school only focuses on its top students, but Delphian totally changed that idea. Everyone at the school loves every student, and students truly care about each other.

My daughter was attending a public high school and testing in the 98 percentile for reading and writing but suffered in mathematics. My husband and I tried for 6 months to get her some help from her math teacher and school counselor to no avail. The school counselor basically told us that our daughter probably would not earn a high school diploma because she wasn’t passing the Oregon Common Core math test. We also realized our daughter was not learning in math class because the teacher could not control the class. At times, it was a noisy, disruptive environment in which students couldn’t hear the teacher much less ask questions. So, we looked around and found The Delphian School. We sent our daughter to the summer camp program and she just blossomed. She came home at night singing, “Mom, they answer my questions! Dad, they help me!” She is now about to graduate with a high school diploma. She tested above average in math on the SAT test. She has been admitted to her first choice college, which is considered the most intellectual liberal arts college in the country. We are very happy and proud parents. The Delphian School has been wonderful!

Delphian is truly a unique high school journey. The program is proficiency based, which means students move at the own pace and that their understanding of their material is more important than the clock. Students can make the most of their four years here by tailoring their program to current and future interests. You can, for example, take first-year-college chemistry, physics, and math, count a month working at a law firm towards school credits, or help lead the seventy-person student council. The teaching staff are friendly (the students know them on a first name basis) caring (sitting down one-on-one to discuss a piece of literature for thirty minutes is the rule rather than the exception) and have decades (sometimes several) of teaching experience. As a senior planning on majoring in physics/chemistry in college, the greatest piece I take away from my years at Delphian is the ethos of both academic and social integrity.

I graduated from ​the ​Delphian School in 2017. The eight years I spent there were filled with fantastic memories. Delphian is truly like no other school. At first I wasn’t sure what it would​ be like living three thousand miles away from home. Thankfully the students and staff made Delphian my home away from home. The staff truly care about your growth; and the students help each other study, do projects and so much more. At Delphian there aren’t ​cliques, just students who want to learn ​and help each other​. It doesn’t matter where you come from or what you believe in, all are welcome. My favorite part of Delphian academics was learning how to study. ​I learned about the barriers you come across while studying and how to handle them. Here at Delphian you learn how to study any subject and how to apply it to your life. ​
