School Notes:
- Delphian School, is an independent college preparatory, K-12, co-educational day and boarding school. Delphian enrolls students from around the world and offers an English-as-a-Second Language program.

- Delphian was founded in 1976 by a group of educators and parents concerned about the decline in the standards of American education. Delphian uses the innovative study methods developed more than forty five years ago by American educator and philosopher L. Ron Hubbard. These methods are recognized worldwide as a breakthrough in education, and, with them, students develop the confidence and knowledge to tackle the most challenging subjects independently.
