Delphian School is a private, co-educational K–12 boarding and day school near Sheridan, Oregon, US. It is operated by Delphi Schools on a 720-acre campus. Founded in 1976, Delphian primarily teaches children in grades 8–12, with most living on campus either full or part-time. The campus was formerly a Jesuit novitiate and includes a historic Art Deco building designed by Poole & McGonigle in 1933.2

The story

In the fall of 1976, Delphian School opened on the site of a former Jesuit novitiate near Sheridan, Oregon. The main building on campus is a four-story, Art Deco-style building with a brick exterior designed by Poole & McGonigle and built in 1933 for the Jesuit house.

In 1974, the order sold the building and surrounding acreage to Delphian. The former novitiate was then converted to a boarding school.

Opening in 1976, Delphian School created a curriculum for grades K-12. There were about 60 students in the school's first year. Two years later in 1978 the school had 120 students; tuition was $4,500 for boarding students and $2,800 for non-boarders. In the mid-1980s the campus was considered as a possible location for a federal prison. The Sheridan Federal Correctional Institution opened in 1989 in another location in the area.

The headquarters for Delphi Schools, Inc. are located at Delphian School, which is the founding school.

During school closures due to COVID-19, Delphian School offered free online classes.
