Here's what our parents have to say about us: 
  • My son never did well at traditional schools. This is the first school he felt caught up and under control on his work load.
  • Delta allows kids to be their authentic selves.
  • The school could not be a better fit for our child. The teachers and administration are skilled at both teaching and the social emotional aspect of kids' experience.
  • I've been SO VERY IMPRESSED with the entire staff and this program in general. Their caring, dedication, and professionalism have been a real gift for our whole family that will not be forgotten.
