Coeducational Boarding School in Oregon, United States
 The Delphian
School, located on 700 acres in Oregon's scenic
Willamette Valley 60 miles southwest of Portland, is an independent,
co-educational day and boarding school offering
college preparatory,
English-as-a-Second-Language & summer programs
for elementary through high school students.
Boarding students are accepted from the age of
8, day students from the age of 5. There are
currently 240 students enrolled and 55 teaching
faculties.
Accreditation:
The Delphian School is registered with the
Oregon Department of Education, is a member of
the Oregon Federation of Independent Schools and
a candidate member of the Pacific Northwest
Association of Independent Schools.
 Curriculum:
We offer a full K-12 program with a complete curriculum in each school (Lower School, Elementary School, Middle School, Upper School). Also: ESL English Programs & Summer Programs.
Mission:
Our mission is to give young people a rich
academic background, a strong sense of ethics
and a broad range of abilities to successfully
launch them into higher education, a career and
life itself.
Our students: The school is authorized under Federal Law to enroll
non-immigrant alien students. As well as having
students from all over the United States, Delphi
has students from countries all around the world
such as Canada, Mexico, Korea, Taiwan, Japan,
Germany, Switzerland, China, Austria, Cambodia
and Hong Kong.
 Boarding: The Delphian School is both a
boarding and a day school; some students board
during the week and go home on the weekends
(five-day boarders). Boarding is available to
students from the age of eight, and the day
school accepts students from the age of five.
With most students boarding, Delphi is a lively
community all day, seven days a week.
Boarding students live in dormitories on campus. There are nine dormitories—five boys' dorms and four girls' dorms. Most rooms are designed for double occupancy, with access to shared bathrooms. The dormitories are in the main building, except for the newest one, which has its own lounge/kitchen facility and laundry room. Furnishings include single beds (often bunked), dressers, desks, shelves and closet space. Resident staff live in end units of each dorm to provide a friendly, homey environment for students. Junior and senior students serve as dorm captains to help students learn to live and work well together and to create dorm parties and games.
Students should be prepared for a schedule
brimming with activity from early in the morning
through the evening hours, nearly every day of
the week. The weekends are typically a little
more relaxed, but trips, sporting events and a
variety of social activities keep things hopping
even then. Students will find it an atmosphere
of both fun and challenge and will be invited to
help create it. |
