Private High School for International Students, California

Delphi Academy of Los Angeles:
Are you searching for an American school that accepts international students? Located in the San Fernando Valley region, Delphi Academy of Los Angeles in California is a quality private school that provides academic programs for boys and girls from preschool through to high school. We offer an English Immersion Program for international students from around the world. Suitable for students at elementary, middle, and high school level, this program immerses them in the English language and American culture through participation in classes and social activities with American students. In addition to our academic year program, we offer an English summer camp, winter camp, and a spring camp.

- At Delphi Academy, we believe that our entire student body benefits from the presence of international students. We value the international perspective and unique educational opportunities they provide.

- We provide our international students a top-quality education in a nurturing and stimulating environment, which “instills the highest standards of character and citizenship and a commitment to academic, artistic, and athletic excellence.” 

- We help all of our students, including international students, to develop the skills necessary for success in American universities and colleges and in life beyond academia.

- Our school is situated on a beautiful 9-acre campus in the foothills of the Angeles National Forest in the equestrian community of Lake View Terrace - an idyllic location in which to improve your English and make new friends.

- Course Duration: Students can choose to study for a full academic year or more, or complete a shorter program
- For international elementary school, middle school & high school students

By attending an American school and participating in the same classes as native English-speaking students, international students are fully immersed in the English language and American culture.

English Camps for International Students:
- Course Duration: 4 weeks but this can be extended up to 3 months
- Offered in Summer, Winter, and Spring

International students are immersed in English through participation in classes, workshops and fun activities with the rest of the student body at Delphi.

Camp participants are not enrolled in our full academic program, and so they do not need to obtain an F-1 (student) visa.

To qualify for our English immersion program, international students must have an acceptable level of English literacy in both spoken and written English (usually a very strong intermediate level).

Each student must also have good grades from their current school in their native language, as well as very good letters of recommendation from three of their teachers. In addition, they must pass a Skype interview.

Live with an American Family:
Homestay accommodation with a local host family can be arranged. These are Delphi staff members and families who are happy to have international students live in their home for the duration of their stay in Los Angeles. This is an excellent way to quickly improve your English.

Delphi Academy can provide the initial contact information for the host family. However, it is your responsibility to interview the potential host family to determine if they are the best match for your child.

We do not vouch for any of the referred families, and are not responsible for your child/children while they are the care of a host family.
