About Delta
Welcome to the Delta Program! In 2024, we celebrated our 50th anniversary of being a democratic school governed by students, teachers/staff, and families and focused on community and diversity. Because we strive to reach consensus in decision making, school policies are actively discussed, debated, and voted on. Another hallmark is that teachers and students develop courses together. Fun fact: Students, teachers, staff and administration are all on a first-name basis.
