Delta's Fall Semester Updates 2025
We've had such a terrific semester in our new space that we thought we'd do a little photobook of some fall semester shenanigans. 
  • 33 students passing their Cabrillo classes
  • Delta has an Instagram @deltahigh.asb
  • Student involvement in Rotary Interact, Your Future is Our Business, Renegade Theater, and many other community organizations!
First day of school in our new building.
​We love it!

Pumkin pie for all! 
Of course, we do real learning, too. This group is listening to their classmates' Marine Ecosystem Restoration presentation
Delta is moving!
​That's right - we're movin' on up to the 500 building on Cabrillo's main campus.

We are so excited to provide this high-quality environment for our students!

​On Friday, August 30, Delta went to see SC Shakespeare's Hamlet. What a treat to see such a terrific production in such a beautiful venue! 
Delta is enrolling for 2025. Please reach out if your student needs support! 
We serve a wide range of students, those who need extra academic support and those who want to accelerate their learning with more challenging curriculum. We do it all! 
  • Get more 1: 1 support with smaller class sizes. 
  • Graduate with fewer credits.
  • Get support with starting college. 

Find the right program for you:
  •  Classroom-based, daily instruction on
        campus
  • Independent Studies - at home or at school! 

​Please contact principal Jen Ra'anan to schedule an informational enrollment meeting:

We tend to fill up by June so please don't wait to reach out! 
Here's what our parents have to say about us: 
  •  I am overjoyed with academic rigor and school climate, and my student's connection with his instructors and peers.
  • I think it's such a wonderful school and most people I talk to have no idea about the interesting classes and superb communication that you offer here.
  • My son never did well at traditional schools. This is the first school he felt caught up and under control on his work load.
  • 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.
Congratulations,
​class of 2024!
​We are so proud of you! 
Delta would like to congratulate our 23-24 Students of the Month. In partnership with the Sunrise Rotary, Delta students attend an honorary breakfast and receive a $100 check from Rotarians.
