Delaware Military Academy - Campus

Campus

The Delaware Military Academy is a school that lies within the boundaries of the Red Clay Consolidated School District, but as a charter school it is not part of the school district itself. The school is on Middleboro Road in Wilmington, Delaware, adjacent to nearby Banning Park, a local housing development, and several light industrial and commercial operations. Due to the lack of athletic facilities on campus, students often walk to Banning Park for sports practices or physical education classes. Other nearby schools have reached agreements with the Academy, allowing it to use their athletic facilities and fields. There are plans to create these facilities on campus in the near-future. Because it is a charter school, it serves students from across the county, and employs faculty from as far away as the city of Dover, over an hour away in driving distance.

There are currently two buildings on campus: Talley Hall and the unnamed "Naval Science building." The two buildings are separated by a parking lot and sidewalk island. Talley Hall contains strictly academic classrooms, and is where most of the students' academic education will take place. In addition, the school's main office and nurse's office are in Talley Hall. The Naval Science building contains classrooms used for military instruction, as well as classrooms used by the science department. It also contains the school cafeteria, (referred to as a "mess hall"), gymnasium (or "drill deck"), weight room, NJROTC supply office, Naval Science Instructor offices, the cadet staff office, and two dressing rooms (added in 2009). In 2010, the school bought a large sum of land around the campus and a parade field surrounded by a paved track and additional parking was completed behind the academy in 2012. There are plans to add a third building, a "Language building", which will house the school's English language arts and foreign language classrooms in the near-future as funds become available.
