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 Students

"Reading is really good. You get better and better at reading. You can get very smart. You don't have to ask so many questions of other people."
H. M.

On Completing a Measuring Course...
"I learned how to measure things. I only knew a little bit about measuring. Now I can measure with inches and centimeters. I'm ready to learn the next chapter."
W. M.

On Completing Form 1 Reading...

Success Stories from Parents

"We don't have words to thank you and all the staff at Delphi for the success at school of our two children.

"As you know for this school year we initially enrolled our son at another school. We immediately started to have a problem kid. With your help we put him back in Delphi in November. A few weeks later he was again the happy, motivated child ready to learn and ready to face any challenge. And now after a few months, he graduated to Form 2. That is awesome! What else can a parent ask for a happy child that loves to learn?

"Thank you Tristin for your patience, thank you Alexxes for the challenge in math, thank you Erin for keeping him focused, thank you classmates for the love and friendship, thank you Bill for keeping a clean and nice space for him, and thank you all for helping him be himself again.

"Seeing the results that he was having, we decided to enroll our other son at Delphi in January of this year. We can't believe that after 4 months he has finished his Beginner 1 program and he is starting Beginner 2 next Monday. This is just the result of an incredible teacher, Dawn, that kept him motivated and the environment that he has been in. Now we have this little person that wants to literally eat every book he sees.

"Thank you Delphi!"
J.B. & Y.B., Parents

"Thanks for the opportunity of having our daughter at Delphi Academy this past year for your Beginner 1 program. She has greatly improved her academic skills in writing, letter recognition, problem-solving and most of all reading. I am so happy about her achievements at Delphi that I wanted to let you know by giving you this letter.

"Your staff is always professional, concerned and courteous to my needs and that of my daughter. I always feel she is very safe and well taken care of. A wonderful testament to your school is the well-behaved children that attend.

"It has also been my experience that her teacher Dawn is very communicative of any issues pertaining to her day. Currently her new teacher, Sally is excellent in keeping up with her progress and giving us notes on her homework sheet as to what she needs to accomplish.

"One year ago, when we started at Delphi I had very high expectations of what I wanted to see Anais accomplish. I just have to tell you that you have surpassed my expectations and I am so happy I made the decision to have my daughter attend Delphi."
E. C., Parent

"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 are happy to share how much our daughter, Caroline, has improved, both as a person and as a student at Delphi Academy.

"This is her second year and her vocabulary and language skills have increased tremendously through out her learning in Beginner 2. She now is able to read books we used to read to her when she was a toddler and she even reads to her little sister!

"She has gained so much confidence that she is much more sociable with friends and relatives and even strangers! She says 'Hi!' when someone greets her and carries a conversation with them. Last month she told us 'I'm not shy anymore!' with a big smile. She is eager to talk on the phone and carry a conversation with relatives.

"She takes care of herself and her belongings very well. She picks her clothes and dresses herself and bathes (with mom's help). She knows where to put her books, toys and clothes away and even picks up after her little sister.

"We can go on and on, on her improvements. It's simply amazing. Caroline has come a long way since she started Delphi! She is proud to be a Delphi Die Hard Student!"
S. & C. C., Parents

"Kian is beautifully turning into a well-rounded 'big little' boy. He is a curious, confident, well-adjusted little 6-year old. We are proud of him and his accomplishments. I am positive that Delphi's program and his teachers' influence have directly and positively affected him. Pejhon, although still very new with the program, is already on his way of following his older brother's path. He is more social than before and visibly enjoys the challenges of learning."
S. S., Parent

"We've been pleased with the progress that Gregory has made in his reading and math skills. We also appreciate the reinforcement that you all provide by teaching the children to help out mom and dad around the house and have good table and social manners. I've been really impressed with the progress that Gregory has made. In addition, what I think makes Delphi standout is the small size. The program is better apt to focus on the strengths and challenges of the individual so that every student can reach his or her potential."
G. C., Parent

"Since coming to Delphi, I noticed that Lily follows directions very well, listens better, and has less fear. Thank you!"
M. Z., Parent

"My main goal for this summer was for Michael and George to have fun. That goal was accomplished; my boys had a ball!! Yet I was also so pleased with how much they learned. They both made good progress with their reading this summer. In addition, they learned about the Theme each week. They also learned in P.E. class each day, which was an extra bonus. It was 6 weeks very well spent."
N. M., Parent
