Academy History

In 2016/2017, the Delaware Valley Regional High School engaged educational and community stakeholders to analyze our declining enrollment to identify and recommend steps to ensure our ability to continue to deliver a quality educational and co-curricular program. The focus was to include developing plans in the areas of finance; facilities and transportation; and curriculum and instruction, including technology.

The result is the Delaware Valley Regional High School Educational Long Range Plan (in alignment with the DVRHS Strategic Plan)

Strategy: Utilize Career Clusters and Pathways as a means of bridging high school and post-high school plans of study or career options.

Action Plans:

3.1 Select programs of study based upon student interest and available resources.

3.2 The district will establish “academy-like” programs aligned to selected Career Clusters and Pathways.

3.3 Partner students and local businesses to provide for internships, mentorships, structured learning experiences, and other learning experiences outside of the traditional classroom.

The Results: Delaware Valley Regional High School currently offers six academy programs.
