Heron Books was established in 1976 as a sister organization to the Delphian School, a non-religious K-12 boarding school in Oregon. Its purpose was to create high-quality materials for Delphian as an early adopter of proficiency- or mastery-based education.

 

Over time, the popularity of these materials grew. Today our materials are used by individuals, schools, tutors and homeschoolers around the world.

 

Heron Books operates under a corporate umbrella with Delphian, and its offices are located on the Delphian campus. Our team of writers, artists, sales and production staff all assist in academic or extra-curricular activities within the school, while also collaborating with the school’s faculty in the ongoing development of new and better books and learning materials. This unique collaborative relationship allows us to test and refine our materials through work with actual students and teachers.

While there are schools, tutors and homeschoolers throughout the world that use Heron materials, the following schools have contributed significantly to the development of our programs, books and materials, and continue to contribute feedback, support and expertise to the development of our materials:
