About School Choice

School Choice is designed to increase access to educational opportunities for all children in the state, regardless of where they live. A parent/legal guardian residing within Delaware may apply to enroll their child in a public school in any school district, charter school, magnet school, or vocational-technical school, regardless of the student’s area of residence. Any student not currently registered in a public school in the State of Delaware must be registered in their school of residence before submitting a Delaware Standard Application for Educational Options (Choice application).

Any parent/legal guardian choosing to send their child to a school other than their school of residence shall be responsible for transporting their child, without reimbursement, to/from the Choice school or the nearest regular bus stop serving the Choice school, if space is available. Please contact Transportation Services at 302-454-2281 to find the nearest choice of bus stop location.
