Delphi Academy of Santa Monica Reviews

My Son is absolutely flourishing at this school. I was very picky w/ my choice and feel so relieved. the kindness and respect amongst the students is remarkable. My son is reading at 1st grade level ( he's 5!) and excelling in Math and art and speaking french and art ...I could go on....The director of this school is phenomenal. I know the other parents all can agree that our child and any issues that come up from time to time are IMPORTANT to her and the other teachers.The care and attention is more than expected from a private school! Delphi is a newer school on the west side compared to the others and not many know about it- I think its the best kept secret! Love, AD

Delphi SM is an incredible school. Our daughter LOVES going to school. She is proud to show us what she has learned each day and speaks highly of all her schoolmates and teachers. The Delphi approach to teaching; the dedication of the entire faculty to the students' and their progress; the dedication of the parents and the students enthusiasm to be at Delphi contribute to making Delphi SM an extraordinary school. If you want your child to develop a love for learning; to learn and study properly at a young age; and to have an education rich in academics and arts, Delphi SM is a school you should seriously consider.

Delphi SM has been a wonderful school for our son. He went from being a child who hated to go to school to one who loves his school. They way they teach gives the children such great confidence in what they know and a passion to learn more. It's an extremely nurturing environment. I highly recommend the school to anyone looking for a private K-6 school. Deborah Haggis

my son had attended a daycare that he loved and when we moved we had to put him into a new daycarehe. He was 2 1/2 at the time and was very sweet and well behaved. within 6 months he had turned into an entirely different person; rough, loud and ill-mannered. As soon as we were able we put him in Delphi Academy. Within a very short peiod of time he was back to his old self, sweet and well-mannered without losing any of his natural exuberance. On top of all that he has started to read... he is only 3 1/2! His teachers are so sweet and kind, and he truly loves them! Recently we were driving down the street after school and one of his teachers pulled up next to us, my son rolled down his window and started blowing kisses to her!!

I have a son who is dyslexic, who had tremendous difficulty learning how to read. Three years of general, and special education, at public school were a complete failure. When hope seemed to be lost, I brought his to the Delphi Academy of Santa Monica. After doing their own testing, they told me with confidence that they could teach him how to read. I cannot describe my elation at seeing my son read, and then learn to enjoy reading. Their classes are small, their curriculum is customized to each child, their enrichment is tremendous. Delphi Academy of Santa Monica is by far the best education value in Southern California.

Delphi Academy has truly been a positive force in our child's life. He is now enjoying learning and continues to develop his skills in a loving and nurturing school environment. He in Pre-K and I am amazed at the progress he is making. The class sizes are small which allows for concentration on the student as well as the ability to interact closely with both children and teacher. As my mother said just today, 'what a caring staff with a genuine interest in how her grandson is learning'. We love Delphi and can't wait to spend the next 7 years here! Heather J. Kramer

My son has attended this school since their founding. He loves to learn and at age 8, feels more and more confident in his abilities across all subjects from academics to the arts. In a city where the choices are many, I am confident that I have chosen correctly and know that my child is surrounded by a dedicated staff and fellow students. This is a group that my son and our whole family are proud to be a part of.

My daughter has been learning so much and really enjoys the school. She used to complain about being bored before she started and since starting she only complains about being bored on the weekends. I love that each child progresses at his or her own speed. She's learned so much already. Since starting in September she's already reading. They've also got ballet classes and music. The staff are really easy to talk to and really willing to help and make sure my daughter is progresses at her fastest speed. If there have been any problems I just talk to them and like that everything is handled. It's the greatest place you could send your child. The kids there are incredibly smart and helpful.

My children are thriving at Delphi. The reading program is outstanding. They both started reading at four, within weeks of starting school. Delphi is a very friendly and safe place for them to expand academically and socially. We love it.

The reading program is beyond imaginable and the one on one attention that each student receives makes this school invaluable.
