Students and alumni often describe the Delphian community as their second family and the campus as their second home.
Our small community requires students to work together in the classroom, on academic and extracurricular projects, in the dorms, on our sports teams, in our choir and everywhere else.
Our vast campus provides a safe harbor for students to build their skills and expand their understanding of the world, free from discrimination or distractions. Coming together on a peer-to-peer level and looking out for each other is an integral part of our community. Encouraging peers to study, work hard and achieve success is normal.
You would be hard-pressed to find a more mutually encouraging and supportive student body.
Meet a Delphian
Head of School at New Leaf Academy
"Delphian gave me the chance to lead, and most importantly, to fail as a leader. I made mistakes in leadership positions that I learned from. By the time I graduated Form 8 I had grown so much as a leader, so when it came to real life and real consequences, I was able to lead with confidence."
Field Delegate with the International Committee of the Red Cross
"There is a specific sense of personal ethics, responsibility, teamwork, and specifically leadership that Delphian teaches, which other schools do not."
Farmer and Documentary Photographer
"Doing the Leadership course as a student gave me actual data and a method to move forward with the things I cared about productively."
Producer, Director, Educator, and Director of Photography
"From day one, Delphian encouraged and supported my interests."
Film and Television
"Delphian did a great job encouraging the idea of "you be you" and not letting yourself get talked out of that."
Musician
"My forte, and I think Delphian had a lot to do with it, was to be able to go into my life very sure of myself. "
"I can now say that I am someone with integrity and someone who can get a product despite any challenge."
"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."
Art Director for Bungie
"Life is a learning process that keeps going and doesn’t ever really slow down."
Classical Music Composer
“Believe that whatever you would love to do is possible."
"I am forever grateful to Delphian, and everyone that makes this school what it is..."
Doctor in Pharmacy
"Don’t be scared of medical school."
Fashion Designer
"An outstanding skill one obtains through the Delphian program is the ability to learn. I believe that ability alone can make one unstoppable."
Chef
"Don't let what you know get in the way of what you don't know."
Humanitarian
"Humanitarian work is not the way to get rich or have a life of ease—but it is extremely purposeful and rewarding. So find your area of purpose and push that purpose forward with everything you’ve got."
Pre-Med Student
“In a clear, direct, and tangible way, the communication courses at Delphian were the most valuable thing I learned.”
