A unique approach
DeLaveaga is a unique school. We work to instill creative thinking and a cross-cultural perspective on our community and our world.
Our school is a place where learners are rigorously pushed to their highest potential of excellence with a diverse curriculum and unique enrichment opportunities. We support students with a system dynamic instruction that combines classroom work, small groups and on-on-one attention.
Whether our students are pursuing bilingualism or simply growing and learning to understand themselves and the world around them, we work to offer every challenge and support needed to help us all grow as learners and human beings.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
DeLaveaga is home. DeLa is a special place where people are cared for, and the sense of belonging is striking.

Lo que más me gusta de Delavega es el Programa de Inmersión Dual, mi hijo está fortaleciendo sus habilidades de hablar en español y también en la escritura.
El se siente tan orgulloso de ser bilingüe y que él se pueda comunicar con mi familia y su abuela en Español ¡no tiene precio!

I am excited for my children to spend the day in an environment that is diverse, inclusive, energetic, engaging and caring. From the front office staff to the librarian, the music teacher and nurse, the art teacher & counselors, custodians, teachers, aides & the principal, I know that EVERY member of the DeLaveaga team is there to support my child.
