Music & Art

Delphi Academy has an active arts program that has the students creating from their hearts while improving their skills and technique. Art, music and drama are offered throughout the year and are considered an important part of the student's education.

Students rehearse musical and theatrical performances that are integrated into cultural celebrations such as Diwali Festival of Lights in the fall and Lunar New Year in February. Two major productions are additionally put on in the auditorium - one in December and another in May. Everyone gets involved in every production, whether through acting, singing, dancing, playing a musical instrument, creating props and costumes or as stage hands.

Delphi students also write poetry and perform for each other in "Poetry Slams" (recitations of their own works). A Talent Show is another way for them to showcase their creative sides each year.

In addition to creating their own art, students go on field trips to see professional artists perform. Excursions to art museums, the ballet, glass blowing studios, the quilt museum and local artists' studios are common throughout the year.

The Main Office is the site of our Student Gallery where exhibits of student works are displayed. Student art is also displayed in the classrooms and featured in newsletters or on our website.

Our faculty includes several artists who help the students enter into art contests and find outside locations where students can show their work.
