High School Choice

  • Learn about our reimagined high schools

    There are three traditional high schools in the Christina School District, located in Newark, Christiana, and Glasgow. The schools serve students in grades 9-12, and offer a variety of extracurricular activities, sports, programs, and services for high school learners. All high schools offer Advanced Placement courses.

    The District is also home to the Sarah Pyle Academy which provides a non-traditional high school environment to a select population as well as the James H. Groves Adult High School.
