Thomask@delphian.org

The youngest son of Delphian's founding Dean, Janet Hollander, Thomas graduated Delphian in 1983 and moved to Los Angeles to pursue his interest in finance.

While working in the world of high finance, managing estates and portfolios for individuals, Thomas saw his heart and support leaning back to Delphian. After running the school's Alumni Association for nearly a decade from afar, Thomas returned to Delphian with his wife (Delphian graduate Eve Darling, Class of 1980) and their young son. Thomas spent the next fifteen years teaching and/or overseeing all levels of Delphian's high school program.

Now, as the father of two graduates, and a graduate and alumnus himself, and with twenty years of faculty experience administering the Delphi Program, Thomas is uniquely qualified to speak on the subject of mastery-based education and the programs offered at Delphian.

When he's not traveling on behalf of the school, Thomas spends his time with students in his capacity as a faculty advisor and is a regular chaperone on weekend trips. His interests include traveling and fine cuisine, and coaching or playing baseball; but his greatest passion has been and always will be helping families grow stronger and closer through the education of their children.

johnk@delphian.org

John is one of several founding members who are still serving Delphian's educational mission, some forty years running. In the mid 1970's, John came to Delphian as part of a group of concerned educators who had become inspired by the educational philosophy and workable study methods of American philosopher and educator, Mr. L. Ron Hubbard.

The task these educators set for themselves was to pioneer, develop and implement a teaching system that was not based on memorization, time spent in class, and a 70% passing standard; but rather was a teaching system based on 100% mastery in understanding, real life application, an increasing ability to reason, and honest, self-determined thought and action.

John met his wife of 40 years at the school, and together they raised two girls, both of whom received a sound Delphian education and who are now doing very well in life and raising their own families.

During his over forty years at Delphian, John has worked in almost every area of the school, including eleven years as an instructor in the Upper School. He came in at the ground level and developed the school's volleyball program into the success it is today. He's been coaching since 1979 and remains Delphian's Head Varsity Coach today.

In 2011, John joined the Admissions team as an Admissions Associate. Among his greatest joys are helping students work things out for themselves so they can become more certain and competent, and of course, enrolling new students at Delphian.
