Delta Academy

Catching the Dreams of Tomorrow, Preparing Young Women For the 21st Century, The Delta Academy was created out of an urgent sense that bold action was needed to save our young females (ages 11-14) from the perils of academic failure, low self-esteem, and crippled futures. Delta Academy enriches and enhances the education that our young teens receive in public schools across the nation. Specifically, we augment their scholarship in math, science, and technology, their opportunities to provide service in the form of leadership through service learning, and their sisterhood, defined as the cultivation service learning, and their sisterhood, defined as the cultivation and maintenance of relationships. A primary goal of the program is to prepare young girls for full participation as leaders in the 21st Century.

Delta Academy meets monthly between September – May. Actual dates, times and locations of all activities will be provided directly upon enrollment. We plan and implement varied activities based upon the needs of the early adolescents in the Norristown and surrounding areas. The activities implemented most often include computer training, self-esteem and etiquette workshops, field trips for science experiences and for college exposure, and special outings to cultural events, fancy dinners, museums, plays, and concerts.

Registration for the 2023-2024 Delta GEMS and Delta Academy program year is now closed.
