Our mission
Delta serves students whose needs have not been met by a traditional school model. Through strong relationships, Delta builds a safe, inclusive, and empowering academic community. We support students of all levels with small classes, varied programs, and engaging courses that require students to think critically, collaborate productively, and communicate effectively. Located on the Cabrillo campus, Delta offers accelerated learning through dual enrollment and supports students in developing Grad Skills as they transition from high school to college and career.
Our vision
Situated on the Cabrillo College campus, Delta is in a unique position to partner with Cabrillo and help students in Santa Cruz County graduate high school seamlessly transition to college or career. While we recognize that college may not be for everyone, and therefore do not require A-G requirements for graduation, it is our goal to keep all doors open for students, and we encourage students to take at least one Cabrillo class before graduating. To prepare students for college and career, our teachers and staff emphasize our Grad Skills. Our hope is that a student leaving Delta to go to college or join the workforce can ask thoughtful questions, see the world from multiple perspectives, communicate effectively, advocate for themselves, and collaborate productively with others.
Through its three programs: Direct Instruction, Guided Studies, and Independent Studies, Delta strives to make education relevant to young people who have not been engaged by traditional high school models. With an average annual enrollment of 120 students, Delta School offers a highly supportive and academically challenging environment with a 1:16 teacher/student ratio. The Delta staff work hard to create an achievement-focused school culture that fosters healthy relationships between students and adults.
Santa Cruz City Schools is Delta’s chartering agency and we are grateful for their support.
