Our Story

The school is named to honor the memory of Maria Antonia Alonso, a devoted member of the Delaware Latino community, whose passion for education and advocacy for all children is a driving force behind the school’s mission and vision.
Academia Antonia Alonso (La Academia) is a public elementary school - it is free to the public. La Academia is the first dual language Project Based Learning elementary school in Delaware with a focus on nurturing bilingual, biliterate and multicultural children. Academic instruction takes place half of the time in English and half in Spanish. Students will learn to think critically and take action in their classrooms and communities through project based learning and by engaging in real life issues.

At La Academia, we believe that we are at our best when we are working together for the common good. Our school opened in August 2014 with two grade levels, Kindergarten and 1st grade. The school will add a grade level every year, to grow to a K-5 school by 2018.
