Teen Boarding School Help

Delaware is a state in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. It's one of the smallest states in the US and it's also one of the states with the smallest population in the country. Because Delaware is situated in the Atlantic Coastal Plain, the state enjoys moderate climate and varied temperatures throughout the year. It also has a lot of different types of vegetations in its forests.

Delaware employs a lot of civilian scientists and engineers. This is connected largely to the industrial development brought about by the Du Pont family, the early founders of the state.

Unlike other states, the educational system of Delaware is regulated by a centralized system headed by a State Superintendent of Education. Decision-making on taxation and making changes to the school's curriculum is also governed by local school boards. The teachers of the different district schools of the state have also already been unionized.

Delaware has several charter schools authorized by the Delaware Department of Education. However, there is only one private boarding school in the state, which is St. Andrews Schools. It's an Episcopal school for boys and girls located in Middletown, Delaware. It's a college preparatory school which stacks up pretty well compared with other boarding schools. The student-teacher ratio is kept at a low number (5:1) and class sizes are kept small too, at an average of 11 students per class. According to the school, about 45% of their students receive financial aid. This is a big percentage, compared with other schools.

Unfortunately, aside from this Delaware boarding school, there aren't any other residential programs or alternative schools that are suitable for troubled teens.

As for institutions of higher learning, there are quite a few colleges and universities in Delaware including Wilmington University, Widener University School of Law, University of Delaware, and many others.
