Enrichment Activities Classes
Lower School (K-3) Enrichment Activities include regularly scheduled Art, Music, Wood Shop, Physical Education and STEM classes, where students gain a solid foundation and working knowledge in each, and students are able to explore the world around them and are designed to give students firsthand experiences which will improve their overall skills, as well as cultivate interests in new areas. As with all aspects of the Delphi Program, activities provide a learning environment where students develop competency, creativity and critical thinking. A list of class offerings can be found here: Lower School Enrichment Activities.

Student Services and Student Council
Another important aspect of our Enrichment area is our Student Services and Student Council programs.
Students in Middle School regularly participate in the Student Services Program, where students are given positions or jobs that give them a chance to contribute to the school’s operation and maintenance. It helps students learn about responsibility, hard work, the value of being dependable, competently carrying out tasks to a high standard, working as a group, and ultimately lead other students. Positions are assigned and overseen by faculty and can involve cleaning, organizing, planning, assisting with young children, assisting staff or faculty, giving school tours and so on. As they demonstrate their competency in their slated jobs, they are promoted to positions of increasing responsibility and leadership.
Starting in High School, students will be invited to hold a position at the top level of Student Services, called Student Council, based on the following criteria:
- Successfully holding a position of leadership in the Student Services program
- Regularly contributing to school and Student Council activities
- Being in good standing with the school, including following class and school rules.
Student Council members work on such things as managing aspects of the schools operations that pertain to the student body, such as the school’s Food Service Program, vending machines, creating and running student driven events, dances and fundraisers. Students are given basic training and rely on their living skills learned thus far. Students are expected to make the most of their position, to challenge themselves to create good results, and to be leaders in the student body, all while experiencing success and failure in a safe and supportive environment.
