Yelp Nominates Delphi Academy "Best Private Elementary Schools in Santa Monica"

    SANTA MONICA, CA, September 25, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Delphi Academy of Santa Monica, a private day school for girls and boys from Early Kindergarten (ages 3-4) through 5th grade is situated on a beautiful, secure campus just one block off the bustling shopping district of Santa Monica.

With a curriculum rich in the basics, quality personal attention, a highly effective approach to learning, and a newly integrated STEAM (Science & Technology, interpreted through Engineering & the Arts, all based in Mathematical elements) Delphi Santa Monica's curriculum is tailored to all levels. It's no surprise Yelp nominated the school this year as one of the Best Private Elementary Schools in Santa Monica.

"Our goal is to help students become proficient at the subjects they study and to foster a true joy and love for learning," says Head of School, Ellen Garrison.

Part of the excitement is due to our integration of a STEAM program this year. In all the classes, the students are getting time to "tinker" and create using a variety of materials.

Parent Joshua G. says, "I feel like the luckiest parent alive. Three of my children currently attend Delphi Santa Monica and both my wife and I feel like we won the Lotto jackpot." He goes on to say that his children actually want to go to school. "I sure didn't have that experience when I was growing up. My parents had to splash water on me to get me out of bed."

The STEAM movement is about sparking students' imagination and helping students innovate through hands-on STEAM projects. It's about applying creative thinking and design skills to these projects. The school is already seeing that on a daily basis - students are designing jewelry for their friends, making wind chimes and building bird perches. "At the end of the day, it is hard to get some of them to leave their classrooms!" says Head of School Garrison.

Delphi Academy of Santa Monica also recently received private donations specifically earmarked for a scholarship fund. They are now able to offer partial scholarships for the current school year to several deserving students who might not otherwise be able to attend Delphi. The school encourages interested families to contact the admissions office to see if they qualify for this exciting opportunity.

Delphi Academy of Santa Monica is an accredited, independent day school with over 30 years of educational experience and part of a national network of acclaimed schools with locations in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, No. California, Florida and Oregon. We enroll students from the age of 3 years to 5th Grade. To find out more, visit http://delphisantamonica.org/.
