    Does that sound like any other High School in Delaware to you??
     
    What do we do differently at Sarah Pyle Academy?

    • The average class size is 12 students per class.
    • Flexible scheduling that includes work experience opportunities and other flexible schedules that work for YOUR SITUATION.
    • Individualized course planning and goal setting with as much or as little personalization that makes sense for YOU.
    • Bi-weekly collaborative goal setting and monitoring, guiding you to self-regulate your learning and align strategies for maximized SUCCESS.
    • Personalized curriculum that fits how you learn best with dedicated teachers who are continually growing in personalized and digital learning and strategies.
    • State-of-the-art technology and online resources extend learning beyond the classroom.
    • Social Emotional Learning concepts are a part of everything we do, helping you learn about content, but also about yourself.
    • Opportunity for college certification programs, Cross-Aged Mentorship/Leadership Program, Job/Internship & Skill Development to give you valuable work skills and experiences.
    • Sarah Pyle Academy is a Google APPS for Education school where all students will learn the skills required for Google Certification.
    • Rigorous curriculum options that combine online and text-based resources to give students options that will help prepare them for multiple options after high school, including college, trade school, military, or full-time employment, including dual enrollment college course options for qualifying students.
    • Comprehensive student support services including career and college planning, life skills, health and wellness, counseling services, cross-age mentoring, wrap-around services, and resources for parents.


    Sarah Pyle Academy has two campuses, one in Newark and one in Wilmington.  Both campuses meet face to face, and will follow the SPA model of small class sizes, personalized learning, and extensive wrap-around supports for your students.  

    Imagine a school where the student gets a say about what they learn, when they learn it, how they learn it and even in how they can demonstrate that they mastered their learning. A place where learning how to make smart choices is just as important as learning square roots and sentence structure. 
     
    SPA STUDENTS will - Work smarter, not harder, by using the technology and the strategies that are best for your individual learning style.  To compliment your academic experience, students have the flexibility to continue to work in their existing job experiences, or participate in college certification programs, cross-aged mentorship/leadership program, or career/aligned internship program.
