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

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!

My son continues to impress me when he just picks up things and can read them to me. He has barely begun Beginner 2 (which is equivalent to 1st Grade) and he is reading far above his cousins who are all in a higher grade than he is but go to a public school. But, one unique aspect of the school is that

My son had some fear and difficulty with the monkey bars, but the teachers helped him and didn't give up or just pass him by sweeping that requirement under the rug. When he was finally able to do it, he was so proud and I could see a look of accomplishment that only comes when you overcome something difficult. Thank you for helping him. Read less

Overall its better than the other private schools in the area. ++ field trips. my son loves field tips, kids learn a lot with practicals + One on One attention and if needed the kid is asked to stand next to the teacher's table and work on the books + teachers ad people around are very energetic and

Read more cheerful. + office staff is helpful and as the school is small there is a lot of personal attention - Even though I am completely for healthy eating/sleeping habit, what i don't completely agree with the school is their philosophy about any behavioral or study issue must be because of eating junk/sugar or not enough sleep. My son for one is always hyper inspite of eating very healthy. - and even though the school says they dont encourage sugar and junk food, my kid has had more exposure to candies at school than home(through friends) Read less

The arts are very rich in Form1. They do class performances and work with different media. Right now their group project is constructing a large city with paper and cardboard. Each child is contributing. I am happy with the progress in my child's spelling, math and reading. I am very impressed overall. Read less
