• Lower School:

Lower School includes Beginner 1 through Form 2, roughly equivalent to kindergarten through third grade.

Instead of forcing a child into the “one-size-fits all” of traditional school programs, our unique program is designed to suit each individual student.

This means never having to slow down for his or her peers, or being rushed through a subject without fully understanding it - everyone learns at their own pace.

Getting started with a positive attitude about the whole learning experience is vital. We find that our amazing program results in students who love to study, love attending school, and are free to advance at a much quicker pace than in traditional school programs.

Lower School students also study science, geography, history, art, music, poetry, and drama - all designed with an integrated approach. In addition, they are taught communication skills from a young age, and given tools to work their problems out kindly in order to maintain a healthy and happy school experience.

The Lower School athletic program offers two physical education classes a day.

Freshman through Senior Levels

Picture of Preschool / Elementary / High School in Los AngelesIn High School, every student is provided with a tailor-made program designed to set them up to pursue their goals in life. The study skills they have learned at Delphi are perfected and honed to the point there they can literally learn any subject, leading to success in further education or any career path they choose to follow.

As well as rounding out their academic studies in mathematics, literature, science, writing, history and government, High School students gain practical experience and understanding in the subjects of leadership, integrity and logic, as well as organizational skills and management.

By taking on tasks of increased responsibility, which require higher and higher levels of competence, they also become a vital element in the functioning of the school.

By their junior year, students select one of four major areas to study more intensively - Business, Fine Arts, Humanities, or Science & Technology. In addition to the standard program of required core courses, they focus on academic study and practical experience related to that specific area.

Subjects include:
- Literature
- Mathematics & Technology (Algebra, Geometry, Advanced Math, Technology)
- Writing & Public Speaking
- History, Government & Current Events
- Applied Philosophy & Logic (The Logic Series, Education, Leadership, Life Skills, Ethics & Integrity, Family Education and Health)
- Business
- Practical Application (Projects, Apprenticeships)
- High School Arts (Art, Music & Theater Electives)

Entry Level:

Graduates of Form 5 (Middle School) move directly into the High School Freshman Level. If you are a student newly entering Delphi in the High School, you will begin with the Freshman Entry Level. This serves to orient you to the study methods taught at Delphi, while filling in any “holes” from previous academic programs.
