SUSSEX COUNTY STUDENTS WANT TO BE CHALLENGED ACADEMICALLY.
In 2010, a group of concerned parents began meeting to address the lack of high school choices in Sussex County. By 2012, a plan was formed to expand Sussex County’s only charter school — the award-winning Sussex Academy of Arts and Sciences for grades 6th through 8th — into a new, combined middle and high school.
In 2013, the renamed Sussex Academy purchased and began to expand a school facility in Georgetown, Delaware to accommodate 770 students by 2016.
In 2016, Sussex Academy celebrated its first graduating class of 38 students. The current graduation rate is 96.55% with each graduation class collectively receiving over $3 million in scholarships.
The capital campaign for Sussex Academy
With the support of more than 400 individual, business and foundation donors, $36 million was raised during our capital campaign, including $6.25 million borrowed from USDA, to acquire and build-out our new facility in Georgetown.
