The Delphian School, K-12 private school in Yamhill County, Oregon, USA
The Delphian School is a private school serving kindergarten through twelfth grade in Yamhill County, Oregon. The campus spans 720 acres with meadows, forests, and farmland, with more than half of the roughly 229 students living on campus in dormitories.
The school was founded in 1976 and occupies a former Jesuit building from 1933, a four-story Art Deco structure. The property was repurposed in the mid-1970s and evolved into an institution with a self-paced learning approach.
The school takes its name from Delphi, the ancient Greek site known for wisdom and learning. The community values mutual respect and shared responsibility, with students and staff treating each other as partners in the educational process.
The school accepts both boarding and day students and offers summer sessions lasting three to six weeks during the summer months. Visitors should know the campus sits in a rural setting roughly 50 miles south of Portland, so a car is helpful for getting there.
The school uses special study techniques originally developed by L. Ron Hubbard to help students improve reading, writing, and reasoning abilities. This personalized approach lets students work at their own pace rather than following traditional grade levels.
