The Delaware College Scholars’ (DCS) Program at St. Andrew’s is a partnership between St.
Andrew’s School and the Delaware Department of Education Higher Education office. Its mission is to recruit, assist, and enrich high-performing lower income high school students academically and socially towards applying to competitive college and universities as well as preparation towards their eventual transition into higher education upon completion of their Delaware High School graduation. DCS targets these students in particular because research shows that lower income students who demonstrate high academic ability early in HS unfortunately plateau and do not fully reach their full potential. DCS engages this particular group, prepares them for the college process and simultaneously exposes them to social and academic experiences to help acclimate their understanding of what it takes to excel beyond high school. The end goal of the DCS is for 100% of participants to graduate high school and gain acceptance into competitive 4-year colleges/universities.

The Delaware College Scholars’ Program will be held the summer after 10th grade and is a three-week residential program held at St. Andrew’s School in Delaware, where scholars have a variety of academic classes and college workshops, and prepare for the transition to college life.
