About Providence Creek Academy

Providence Creek Academy opened in 2002 as a K-8 public charter school and now sits on a 43.8 acre campus in Clayton, Delaware, with outdoor classrooms, ponds, two playgrounds, athletic fields, a gym and an auditorium. We are tuition free for any Delaware resident in kindergarten through eighth grade, and families apply through School Choice Delaware, with a lottery when applications exceed seats.

Our academics are built around the arts. Students take special classes twice a day, including art, music, dance, physical education, library and technology, and we teach Spanish and American Sign Language. Math uses Eureka Math. Our special education team supports students with IEPs and 504 plans in full inclusion and in part-time or majority specialized settings, and we provide speech and language services, occupational therapy, physical therapy, animal therapy and art therapy on campus.

Students play soccer, football, cross country, volleyball, basketball, softball and baseball. We run our own buses through Smyrna, an after school program until 6:00 p.m., and a summer camp for ages 4 to 13.

We ask the Bulldogs to bring those habits into classrooms and school life in Middletown, Delaware. Our core values reinforce collaboration, trust, respect and recognition of differences. Bunker Hill Elementary opened in August 2009 within Appoquinimink School District. We work with the local community to provide an engaging education in an equitable, inclusive school, with engagement, equity and excellence guiding that work. Bulldog Broadcast and the family calendar share school events and communications. Families can participate through volunteering and find information about Spanish immersion, Title I, evaluation and grading. The district's special education parent council series provides another family connection. Our arts education, library and extracurricular activities give children more ways to participate in learning. Mentoring and bullying prevention resources address their experience with other people at school. Students practice P.A.W.S. responsibilities alongside this school work, with preparation, attitude, careful work and safety setting daily expectations. We value communication and collaboration, model trust, actively engage our community and cultivate mutual respect. These core values include recognizing differences and doing what is best for each student.
