Private School in South Bay Area

Delphi Academy of Campbell:
Delphi Academy of Campbell is a private, secular, non-sectarian school, located in Campbell, Santa Clara County CA, in the heart of the Silicon Valley / San Francisco Bay area. We are part of the Delphian School, founded in 1976 and located in Sheridan, Oregon. We are a year-round K-8 school (Kindergarten, Lower School, Elementary School, Middle School), licensed to use Applied Scholastics Educational Services. Our goal at Delphi is to educate our students so that they know what they need to know to be successful, and can competently use it. Knowledge opens the doors for students, and competence gives them confidence for the future.

The basics come first.  All Delphi students, no matter at what level they start, become well grounded in reading, writing, mathematics and study skills.

Our approach is geared to the individual. 
Each student begins Delphi with a program tailored to his or her level, then progresses through it rapidly.  All along the way, students are both helped and challenged. 

We want to see our students grow, stretch, reach higher and farther, and feel confident that they are prepared for a successful life.

Our academic standards are high. 
Students should be able to absorb all of their education - not some or most, but 100%. We don't believe in passing students on to the next subject without fully making it in the previous one. 

Teachers work with students to ensure they really understand and can use what they have studied.

A Curriculum That Reflects Life.

Developed through Heron Books, once a part of Delphi, our curriculum covers a wide spectrum of subjects - from the traditional to the practical. 

Built on the idea that a curriculum msut reflect all aspects of life, Heron Books has over 300 courses ranging from the basics of reading, writing and mathematics to such practical areas as manners, nutrition, penmanship and communication. 

Science, history, geography and foreign language are vailable for all levels and include not just theory, but plenty of practical exercises to help students develop understanding.

Field trips are a regular part of the school week and are another way for students to connect what they are studying with real life.  Younger students go on weekly trips to places such as a bakery, fire station, a concert, or to explore a nature center. 

Older students take trips twice a month to aquariums, a glass-blowing studio, City Hall, the Tech Museum or to see the San Jose Opera or Ballet.

Sports and physical activity is an important part of a student's life and is taught daily at Delphi.  Younger students master large motor skills in gymnastics and learn playground games while older students focus on team sports and their related skills. 

The program includes general physical fitness, track, soccer, basketball, volleyball, street hockey, flag football and more.  Students interested in competitive play can join our Delphi Dragons teams in several sports and play against other schools.

Culture and the Arts are encouraged and are an important part of student life.  Every student participates in musical and theatrical productions held throughout the year. 

Local artists and artisans are invited on campus to teach a variety of classes, and students visit artist's studios and museums as well as attend workshops and theatrical performances in the community. 

Student artwork is always on display on campus and large cultural festivals such as the Indian Diwali and Chinese New Year held during the year.

More than a summer camp, a Delphi Summer is a combination of academics, activities, arts, athletics and adventure!  Most of our regular school year curriculum is available to summer students and our year-round faculty care for each camper to ensure they have a summer of both fun and learning.

Academics. 
Summer is a great time to sharpen up study skills, strengthen basics and explore new interests.  Campers get personalized attention to improve skills (as needed) in reading, comprehension, writing and mathematics.

Additionally, they have the opportunity to explore areas of interest in science, lab, history, language and more.

Activities. 
A Delphi Summer is full of activities like arts and crafts, junior engineering, swimming, sprinkler days, rock climbing, trampolining, gold-panning, beach trips... the list goes on!

Art. 
Special art projects like tie-dye, paper mache', movie making, photography and more are all a part of our summer program.  Every camper has the chance to find new ways to express themselves creatively and the chance to display their work for others. 

Adventure. 
Camping trips create fantastic memories of nature, friendship and fun.  Our camping trips are a favorite among students and we offer age-appropriate events for each group. 

Our oldest students may spend four days in Yosemite/Gold country rafting, visiting historical "living towns" and enjoying hiking, swimming and other sports.
