Private K-12 School in Los Angeles

Delphi Academy of Los Angeles:
Delphi Academy of Los Angeles is an independent, coeducational, non-sectarian day school offering a kindergarten through high school program on one campus. The campus is located in the foothills of the Angeles National Forest in the equestrian community of Lake View Terrace in the San Fernando Valley region. Academics focus on providing students with a solid grounding in the basics, a rich and challenging hands-on curriculum, and the ability to study purposefully and independently. The Delphi program includes a fully rounded curriculum available for all age levels. Even the very youngest students are exposed to basic concepts of science, history, and the various humanities. In addition to traditional academic subjects, students get training in practical areas such as communication, manners, computers, nutrition and organization. Delphi Academy of Los Angeles admits students of any race, color and national or ethnic origin.

Give young people a rich academic background, a strong sense of ethics and a broad range of abilities to successfully launch then into higher education, a career and life itself. More broadly, help build a better world through effective education.

We emphasize the practical use of an education and focus on getting our students involved in their subjects. Demonstrated competence in subjects studied is spotlighted rather than time spent in class or "facts" accumulated. For this reason, a somber classroom filled with textbooks, lectures, and chalkboards is not something you'll see at Delphi. Delphi's goal is to have students really "own" their education, which means taking a very active and personal role in it.

This approach depends on an important ingredient—we make sure our students learn how to study. They advance to higher classes based on demonstrated competence and not age or grade, and in the process they gradually become independent, life-long learners.

Lower School Program; Elementary School; Middle School Program; Upper School Program. A rigorous mastery of the basics forms the core of the curriculum, with the complete program developing a wide spectrum of skills and knowledge in cultural, scientific and social subjects. Summer Programs also available.

Because students don't all start at Delphi on the same footing, each arriving student is given diagnostic testing and interviews. From that information a program is designed based on that student’s interests, strengths and weaknesses.

Some students arrive at the school with one or more "holes" in their existing educations and part of the initial task is to identify and repair these holes before they become any more of a problem. The student can then embark on a full academic program without those past problems holding him or her back.
