Results

The effectiveness of the Delphi program can be seen in the results obtained with students. Our Lower School students take the California Achievement Tests (CAT) annually, regularly scoring at least one grade level ahead of age and quite often two and three grade levels ahead. But the results that mean the most to us can be found in the attitudes and behavior of our students, as well as in the enthusiasm and support from our parents. We invite you to find out for yourself what our students and their parents say they have gained from the Lower School program.

Success Stories from Parents

"We want to acknowledge the preschool of Delphi Academy for doing a magnificent job on our little daughter. She has graduated the preschool at the age of three and a half. She is happy and eager to go on with her study and is doing very well on the next level. Learning seems to be fun for her. Thank you for giving her that wonderful experience of going to school. We want her to be happy in her life and we see that she is getting exactly that happiness in school which is incredible for us, as we suffered through a very different school system."
H. & H. B., Parents

"I do not really know where to begin in my praise of the Delphi Academy program and my child's teacher. My child is in Beginner 1 and loves his school, classmates and teacher. He is so happy to go to school every day. I do not know of many parents of children in other schools who can honestly say that. He loves to read and demonstrates his new skill to us with such happiness and pride. He marches into the classroom every morning full of joy and anxious to see his classmates... [Our son's] teacher is a very caring educator who devotes so much of her time and energy to each individual child to ensure they are winning in their education... She is able to handle a group of children with ease and certainty when most parents or teachers would be overwhelmed or lose patience! I would recommend Delphi for any child without any doubts or reservations. Thank you!"
P. & B. O., Parents

"We would like to commend [our children's] teacher for doing an extraordinary job with our children of teaching them both reading. [Our children] came to Delphi speaking not a single word of English. After about three months, they were fluent in English. They both always want to go to school and love to do their homework. Thank you very much!"
B. & H. J., Parents
