It's a place where students get ready for the road ahead—where they ignite their curiosity and build their courage. Delphian School is a place where the next generation of entrepreneurs, scientists, humanitarians, artists, and explorers can grow and thrive—a place you have to see to believe. ABOUT OUR PROGRAM

"I can now say that I am someone with integrity and someone who can get a product despite any challenge."

Roni Akilov, 2020

"The staff members look at us as young adults and not as children, and they treat us as if they were family relatives. They help us learn how to positively lead our own lives, they help us learn from our mistakes, they let us own our education, and they don't judge by what we want to do or be."
