(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Switching from a private catholic school, my son entered Delphi Academy in 5th grade. The difference in the approach to education has had an extraordinary affect on his learning. Our entire family agrees it was the best decision we could have made for him. He is thriving and has complete ownership and responsibility of his learning.
