Char Miller is our Director. She received her Bachelor of Science degree in Computational Mathematics. After working in the business world for many years as a computer programmer and manager, Char opened a school in the Chicago area using the Delphi curriculum. Originally known as Chicagoland Academy, in 2005 the school officially joined the Delphi Schools Network as Delphi Academy of Chicago.

"I love having a school with the full Delphi Program because the students really learn what they are studying and can apply it. I especially like the fact that students are placed by ability because every child's growth is different. An advanced student is not held back because of sub-standard rules. Our school truly gives parents an alternative to other schools and insures their child is receiving an exceptional education."

Char lives in Addison with her husband and three children.

Debbie Voss is our Dean.

"What I like about Delphi is that each student is instructed as an individual. The student’s curriculum is basically designed to meet each incoming student’s needs. Therefore, if a student excels in one area, is at grade level in another and requires a booster in a third – the student’s educational program is designed to meet those needs. In this environment I don’t ever wonder if a student can apply what he has learned – I know that application of the material is each instructor’s expectation. The other area that makes Delphi stand apart is our teaching staff. It is a very open environment in which the parents are actively involved in their child’s education. It’s that team effort that makes it strong. From a parental point of view, I am very pleased with my children’s education. I know they are developing the skills they will need to excel in high school and beyond – a love of learning!"

Ali Blane is the Director of Admissions.

"I love working at Delphi Academy! It is a wonderful learning environment where students are actively learning and growing in all areas of their lives. What I like best about the Delphi program is how each child is placed individually according to their ability. This way they are able to learn at an appropriate pace for them and can constantly be challenged by and excited about what they are learning!"

Jamie Lemes is the Assistant Dean.

"I have enjoyed working at Delphi as a Teacher for several years, teaching both the older students and the younger. I am amazed at how much everyone works together here to help the child in all areas of their lives, not just the academics."

Gina Davidson is our Tots 1 teacher.

"I love working at Delphi. The children are so eager to leran. Every day is a new adventure. I have seen such improvement with my youngest daughter's reading in such a short time. She is proof that the Delphi system works!"

Gina lives in Bolingbrook with her husband and three children.

Yasmeen Moten is the Tots 2 (Pre-Kindergarten) Teacher. After she graduated college with a Bachelor of Arts Degree, Yasmen taught school in Pakistan and went on to teach preschool in the Chicago public school system.

"The teaching methods at Delphi are very good. Parents and teachers work together with the intention of educating the child. The atmosphere of everyone working together, teacher + parent + student equals success."

Yasmeen lives in Villa Park and has two children.

Ann Hootman is a Beginner 1 Teacher (Kindergarten).

"I have been teaching the Beginner One class for 6 years. Being able to teach children how to read has been a very rewarding experience for me. The atmosphere here at Delphi is caring and warm. You could not find a more wonderful first learning experience for your child."

Dominique Amabile is a Beginner 1 Teacher (Kindergarten).

"I love teaching at Delphi because of the individual attention every child receives. Delphi is a very warm and welcoming school. It is amazing to watch the children at Delphi grow in learning every day."

Kim Regalado is a Beginner 2 Teacher (1st grade).

"School Days at Delphi are amazing to experience. The individual attention that each student receives is just what our struggling educational systems need. This style of learning should be gifted to ALL children. "

Karen Kuesper is the Form 1 Teacher (2nd grade).

"Delphi Academy is a positive learning environment for students and is for anyone who wants their child to be handled as an individual. The small class sizes really help their teachers to recognize their students' strengths and the areas where they need help. This enables teachers to challenge their students on a daily basis. Delphi Academy is a great school that completely focuses on the student."

LaShawna Netsingha is a Form 2 Teacher (3rd Grade).

"What impresses me most at the school is that the children are not limited by their age. If a child is ready for their next academic step, no boundaries prevent me from teaching it! This keeps student interest high and allows them to grow at their own pace. Delphi really understands the individual!"

Allison Floyd is the Form 3 teacher (4-5th grades).

"The curriculum here allows me to enrich each one of my students with a true love of each subject."

Michelle Froysland is the Forms 4-6 Teacher (6-8th grades).

"I have many years of teaching experience and yet I am thrilled with the way the students are taught here. They are being helped by teaching them how to be independent learners. When they know how to learn on their own, they can tackle any subject."
