SUMMER MIGRANT PROGRAMS
Delaware offers a full seven-week summer school program. Certified teachers work with school-age
children on strengthening their academic skills in Reading. In addition, the program includes
exploratory group tours to experience and enjoy learning outside the classroom. 3-5 year-old kids
work on school readiness activities. The summer projects are located in both Sussex and Kent
counties with transportation and meals provided. The families of enrolled children are required to
participate in two Parent Involvement events held at the beginning and the close of the program
where they learn about education, nutrition and health.
