Most would describe a Delphian graduate as uniquely driven and resilient. With the guidance of expertly trained and caring faculty, students learn to be self-learners, gain excellent research and application skills, and operate responsibly in an increasingly technological world. Delphian does not grade on a curve, weight grades, post grades, or rank its students. Rather than focusing on the memorization of information to pass a test, students earn credits when they can demonstrate 100% understanding of each subject through one-on-one comprehensive exams which are designed to gauge student’s abilities and understanding gained. Our rigorous academic program is balanced by a practical program that provides hands-on learning through a robust selection of required and elective opportunities. All students participate in more than two hours of co-curricular activities daily, such as interscholastic sports, coding and game design, graphic design, creative writing, video production, ceramics, music, photography, and woodworking. Students' responsibilities include daily “student services”, such as dorm operations, student snack bar management, community service activities, school cleanliness, weekend trips, school tours, and more. Eventually, all students transition from student service to leadership positions on the student council which gives them many opportunities to make critical decisions about school activities in a real-world setting. To help students shape their interests into future careers, Delphian offers a comprehensive career and college advisement program that includes researching and creating a college list, preparing for and scheduling standardized testing, and presenting themselves professionally in their college applications. Delphian uses our personalized curriculum to help students study and prepare for AP testing in as many as 36 different subjects. Our college and career preparation process begins early in the high school program, where students work closely with their academic supervisor and our Career and College Advisor to research and map out their academic and practical programs to help prepare them for their future.
