Delaware College Preparatory Academy was founded with a specific mission in mind - to eliminate the achievement gap by providing a high-quality elementary education to urban students. 

You see it everyday within our communities -children with little hope or academic preparation for the future;   children with no conceptual understanding of what college is and how education can positively impact and enrich their lives. 

We intend to change that.

You also see parents who want to instill strong academic values within their children; parents who want to provide their children with the best educational opportunity but are limited by their economic conditions. 

We provide a tuition-free opportunity that addresses that.

At Delaware College Prep. Academy we ensure that our kindergarten through grade five scholars are prepared to succeed in the most competitive middle and high-schools in the nation.  With a strong educational emphasis on reading, writing and math within a supportive, caring and disciplined environment, we offer our Scholars a once in a lifetime opportunity to gain the skills necessary to become the next President, CEO, Doctor, Scientist, Author, Nobel Peace Prize winner,  Astronaut, or Senator.  We provide children with the core academic and behavioral skills they need to pursue their DREAMs - not in middle school, not in high school but now, at the earliest grades. 

Educational Excellence
Our approach to educational excellence is simple - we do what has been proven to work.  Our model was not created by us.  Instead we studied intensely the highest performing college preparatory elementary schools across the nation and brought that model to Delaware.  And it works.  Our Scholars are stronger readers, can compute mathematically at levels above their grade level, are well disciplined and understand the importance of college.
