Results

Our effectiveness can be seen in the results we obtain with our students. Our Elementary 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 Elementary School program.

Success Stories from Students

On finishing the Grammar and Communication course...
"I had fun on this course. I learned a lot about punctuation and the parts of speech. And just basically, I learned a lot about grammar. I feel that I can now read anything or write anything and I will understand whatever I do."
Rachel, Age 10

On finishing a level of math...
"I really enjoyed this math book especially the last chapter. I learned a lot of new things and when I was having a hard time adding and subtracting fractions (before I did this book), now I can multiply and divide them easily. In the last chapter, I learned something totally new to me. I learned to add, subtract, multiply and divide decimals."
Jessica, Age 10

On finishing the Weather Course...
"I had a lot of fun doing this course! It taught me a lot about the weather and how to take the temperature, and what the different types of weather were. It taught me how to tell when it was going to rain. This was a great course."
Monique, Age 9

On writing...
"I love to write. It helps me think better, and I have a chance to use all the words I learn that are new to me. Reading helps me with writing in two simple ways: 1) I learn more words! And 2) It gives me great ideas!"
Whitney, Age 11

"Delphi is really fun and I like it a lot and I think that most kids should come here and get this knowledge and be able to do whatever they want in life."
Jennifer, Age 9

Success Stories from Parents

"I would like to highly commend all the people at Delphi Academy who have had any dealings with any of the four Haag boys during the course of their two-plus years at the school. You did an outstanding job and we really appreciate it. Over the course of those two years, there were many high points, one of the most notable being the significant improvement in Coni's and Ferdi's reading skills and their overall responsibility level for their education. We are VERY pleased with their progress! We know it was not an easy road at times, yet each staff person involved showed continuous commitment and care. We also really appreciate the professionalism, the high standards and the care with which all of you dealt with us throughout the various matters that arose. Having the parents in different cities (and over long distance!) made it particularly challenging at times, but throughout we felt a complete willingness from everyone at Delphi to do whatever was necessary to truly deliver a stellar result. You were great!"
