Delphi is a great school for toddlers. I think till 3rd grade the education system is pretty good. As you go further up the classes the exposure is OK. There facility is very small for higher classes. - Field trips every week is great. The kids love it. I was looking around and other schools might have a field trip in a month. - Teachers are fun. - Kids have after school classes 4 days a week. Ofcourse paid - Kids can go on their own speed with school work
- love the weekly field trips (great for hands-on practical learning/awareness) - my child understands concepts instead of just "memorizing" - they teach life skills to succeed in the real world, they don't teach to only pass "tests" - my child enjoys the classes and is self-movitated - heartily agree with philosophy on good nutrition and sleep - only con is the size of the school, need bigger facilities - teachers are great; they teach initiative and independence - my child loves it there
Delphi has given my son such a good foundation. He really understands everything he has studied, he knows how to set goals and he's not afraid of hard work. It's a good feeling, knowing that Delphi made sure nothing was skipped over or glossed over in his K-8 education. I don't know any other school that gives that degree of personal care.
This school not only helps students, but also parents. When I am having trouble with my children at home, I can ask the school's Ethics Advisor for help and he can give me good tips on handling my children better.
This is one school that has an awesome balance of advanced academics (mostly one level above Public schools), extra curricular activities (one field trip per week, music and other activities) and mandatory physical education to go to the next class.
For what it costs to go to this school they are not doing enough. The heart of the program but is great but if you have below standard teachers with no acutal teaching credentials trying to deliver the product so it is quite bad. if it were a free program it would pass but for college tuition I think there should be more delivery and care. I was unhappy with the school and left. It was so expensive plus they rent old public school property that is falling apart.
Delphi schools teach kids the most important skill; HOW to learn. Because this very basic skill is learned, children are set up for the rest of their lives to learn anything and everything they choose to learn about! As a result, kids really *love* to study, and they really 'get' what they are studying about! I wish I'd had this style of learning when I was growing up - I know it would have made a huge difference in my life.
Each year, my sons make academic leaps and bounds, but also mature as individuals. I am very happy when I see my kids excited about their schoolwork and when I see them becoming more and more responsible for their homework, deadlines and overall studies. Even though they have to work hard, they are still enjoying school, look forward to it each day and it's clear they're finding the 'fun' of education and learning. I also like the quantity of field trips and the experiences my kids have had in the arts, sciences and exploration of careers.
My daughter has been going to this school for last 3 years. it was very good school in first year.however the education quality has been downgraded to may be a public school with very low API scrore. The kids are not learning but just passing through the grade just to make room for new kids. Parents need to spend lot of time to ensure kids learn basics like addition and subtraction. I am disappointed at downgraded quality of teaching and spending lot of time to ensure my daughter is well educated.
