Delaware Military Academy
This is a JROTC - Navy school; therefore, it is very structured. The staff stresses discipline and respect for teachers and peers alike. The structure provides a framework in which students can learn without a lot of disorder or distraction, which is so prevalent in our public schools. There is a "zero tolerance" policy for drugs as it is considered a privilege to attend this school. The education your child will receive at DMA, in order to prepare them for college, is one of the best in the state of Delaware.
