School Notes:
  • The Delphian School, is an independent college preparatory, K-12, co-educational day and boarding school. The Delphian School 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.
  • The Delphian School was founded in 1976 by a group of educators and parents concerned about the decline in the standards of American education. Delphi 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.
  • While being part of a student body that takes a highly active role in all school activities, each student will learn his own lessons about responsibility, integrity, and leadership.
  • Most graduates are accepted at top ranked colleges and universities across the United States.
