Special attention is given to those students who need help understanding the content of the material presented in these areas. A 30 minute period is allocated for tutoring, research, and special programs and projects. The size of each class is limited to 10 to 11 students. Within each classroom is a certified special education teacher and a trained classroom assistant. This provides a ratio of approximately five students to each instructional staff member.
All teachers hold Delaware certification in special education.
In addition, several teachers have also completed Masters of Education degrees in the areas of art, music and counseling. The Delaware Curative Workshop provides occupational, physical, and speech and language therapies to those students who need such services. The sessions are held at The College School, but parents make financial arrangements directly with the Workshop. Placements can be made into therapy at any time during the school year. The College School is located within the Willard Hall Education Building at the University of Delaware.
