Cape Henlopen School District
Cape Henlopen School District operates five elementary schools and three middle schools that feed directly into Cape Henlopen High School. Parents can confirm their assigned neighborhood schools through the district's online school locator prior to registration.
Spanish immersion is established across all five elementary campuses and extends into middle school. Families request kindergarten admission through their assigned school; placement gives priority to siblings and maintains a balanced mix of native Spanish and English speakers in two-way classrooms, with remaining spots awarded by lottery. English-speaking students can enter the immersion track through first grade, while older transfers must demonstrate prior Spanish immersion experience.
For advanced learners, the Cape Accelerated Program (CAP) offers K–3 enrichment and daily specialized instruction for identified students in grades 4–8 during English language arts and/or math. Parents coordinate with school principals regarding screening and evaluation; students may participate concurrently in both CAP and Spanish immersion.
