Delaware has minimal digital learning activity with most occurring at the district level. There is no state virtual school and no multi-district fully online schools. Some districts use vendor-provided courses on a limited basis, and some high schools participate in the University of Delaware’s Online High School, which provides dual enrollment courses for high school students across the state at a cost of $500 per course. In 2013, four LEAs formed the BRINC Consortium to provide professional development on blended learning instruction for teachers. Additional districts have joined the consortium and it now impacts over 50% of Delaware’s public school students. The department of education provides an online World Language Program that offers online Spanish and Mandarin Chinese courses.
District programs include:
Christina School District’s Virtual Academy, a fully-online K-12 school using district teachers with some synchronous activities required.
Colonial School District’s Virtual Program provides online options for grades 1-8.
State Policies
