Prestige Academy was created to offer a tuition-free, public middle school opportunity to students in Wilmington and surrounding Delaware communities. In order to address the severe academic under performance and low college matriculation rates of boys from these communities, the school offers a highly rigorous, college-preparatory curriculum supported by a structured school culture. We opened our doors to 103 fifth graders in 2008. We expanded one grade per year and currently serve approximately 300 boys in grades five through eight.
