We also offer a distance learning class and enjoy a solid working relationship with nearby Ball State University. We offer dual credit courses with Ivy Tech, which is only four miles away.

Although many institutions within society contribute to the development of an educated person, it is the school which is the only agency that is specifically charged with a formal and legal responsibility for the education of each student. In fulfilling these responsibilities, the schools within the Delaware Community School Corporation shall function under a basic philosophy which recognizes that education is a continuous process which provides for the optimum mental, physical, emotional, social, moral, and group, and individualized instruction shall be placed upon the acquisition of knowledge, concepts, skills, and values. The focus of the school effort shall be the interaction of the student and the teacher in the learning process, RECOGNIZING PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT IN OUR EDUCATION PROCESS AND PROGRAMS.

Established by the Indiana legislature in 1988, the Indiana Academy for Science, Mathematics, and Humanities is operated by Ball State University as a school devoted to the education of students who demonstrate extraordinary intellectual ability and a commitment to scholarship. The philosophy of the Indiana Academy originates from the proposition that a society in which justice is a prime concern ordinarily tries to provide educational opportunities appropriate to the expressed ability and potential development of as many sorts of citizens as possible. To the extent that a society entitles persons with this right, it justly expects that they will subsequently function as good citizens, discharging their public as well as private responsibilities with distinction. As a consequence of its enabling legislation and basic philosophy, the Indiana Academy is dedicated to inspiring and challenging highly gifted young adults to reach their full personal potential within the framework of the common good.
