Delta Academy Program
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 provides an opportunity to enrich and enhance the education that our young teens receive in public schools across the nation. A primary goal of the program is to prepare young girls to be leaders. The activities include workshops, field trips, service opportunities, and special outings to cultural events, fancy dinners, museums, plays, and concerts. The Delta Academy Curriculum includes activities in the following areas:
