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.
  • The school has more than 800 acres of wooded hills, meadows and fields overlooking the scenic Willamette Valley. Sheridan, located in the heartland of beautiful western Oregon, is approximately 50 miles southwest of Portland and 35 miles from the Pacific Coast.
  • The sports facilities include a double-court gymnasium, soccer fields, baseball and softball diamonds, a racquetball court, running track, four lighted tennis courts, and a weight and exercise room.

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.
