makes our program unique. The size of our school allows us to offer
students and their families a personal educational experience. Our
students don't get lost in the crowd due to overcrowded classrooms
or hundreds of students on-site. Rather, each child, and their
family, is seen as an important part of what we like to call the
"L.E. Academy Family."

it comes to offering students a well-rounded elementary school
experience. Our building has many special features,
including:

high-speed internet access, network printing and educational

A strong Reading and Math curriculum provides the foundation of
a quality elementary school education; therefore, Learning Express
Academy places emphasis on both of these subjects in our
curriculum. The core of our curriculum in focused on a
phonics-based reading program, structured to accomodate each
child's individual reading level. In addition, students are
challenged in mathematics, not only through traditional teaching
methods, but also using creative learning centers and
manipulatives. Language Arts, Science, Social Studies,
Foreign Language, Library, Art, Physical Education and Computer
classes complete our exceptional curriculum, which exceeds that of
the Delaware Content Standards.
