Academics and Counseling
Academic Programs
Delta has three different programs to meet students' academic and scheduling needs. Within each program is the opportunity for flexibility and individualized learning. Our small class sizes (15:1), skilled educators, full-time tutors and attentive resource staff provide students with the support they need to thrive and succeed.
Direct Instruction (DI): Most like traditional schools, DI offers a variety of classroom-based courses with subject-specific content designed to maximize credit earnings towards graduation.
Guided Studies (GS): GS is a classroom-based independent study course from 9:20 - 1:15 designed to help students focus on credit-earning and receive one-on-one tutorial support. GS students can take Cabrillo classes as well as Friday classes if there is space.
Independent Studies (IS): IS is a fully independent program, which requires students to complete 20 hours of work per week outside of Delta, keep detailed timecards of their work and meet 2 - 3 times per week to discuss their progress with the instructor on campus.
