  • The Delphian School was founded in 1976 by a group of educators and parents concerned about the decline in the standards of American education. Delphi uses the innovative study methods developed more than forty five years ago by American educator and philosopher L. Ron Hubbard. These methods are recognized worldwide as a breakthrough in education, and, with them, students develop the confidence and knowledge to tackle the most challenging subjects independently.
  • While being part of a student body that takes a highly active role in all school activities, each student will learn his own lessons about responsibility, integrity, and leadership.
