Vocational & Charter
Regional vocational technical schools serve Delaware high school students. Polytech School District in Woodside serves Kent County. Bus service is provided from Clayton.
In 1995, the Delaware Legislature authorized public charter schools to provide for the opportunity to learn in a more diverse curriculum environment. Providence Creek Academy in Clayton serves grades K-8. First State Military Academy also in Clayton serves grades 9-12. In nearby Dover, there is the Campus Community School, the Academy of Dover Charter School and the Positive Outcomes Charter School Inc.
Additional legislation in 1996 provided for School Choice (Title 14, Chapter 4). Parents may have the option to have their child schooled in a public school that does not serve their particular area. Districts, however, retain the authority to determine their own policies regarding choice. Parents are advised to consult with the affected district early.
