The Delphian School is an independent, K-12, coeducational, day and boarding school
of 250 students offering college preparatory, English-as-a-Second Language (ESL)
and summer programs. Situated in the heart of the magnificent Pacific Northwest,
the 800-acre campus of meadows, forests, and rolling hills is near the Oregon coast,
the mountains, and the cities of Portland and Salem.
The Delphian School offers a strong English-as-a-Second- Language program year-round
to students from the ages of eight through eighteen.
Our goal is to help ESL students become competitive with American students in their
pursuit of an American high school and college or university education. We do this
by providing a well-rounded education in basic English reading, writing, culture
and conversation. Students finishing The Delphian School ESL Program would be placed
in the same class as native English-speaking students. The ESL students' English
at this point would not be perfect, but the students would be competitive in that
class with native English speakers.
Intermediate level ESL students who qualify can enroll any time during the regular
school year program or during the summer program. Students below intermediate level
must enroll in the Summer Program because
beginning ESL is not offered during the regular school year. Contact the Admissions
Office for information on what constitutes Intermediate ESL. Most beginning ESL
students who attend the six-week summer program can qualify for Intermediate ESL
by the beginning of the fall term.
The Delphian School is registered with the Oregon Department of Education, is a
member of the Oregon Federation of Independent Schools and a candidate member of
the Pacific Northwest Association of Independent Schools. The school is authorized
under Federal Law to enroll non-immigrant alien students.

Admissions Office.
