MOT Charter School serves students in grades K-12 on two campuses in Middletown, Delaware. Our team provides an intellectually rigorous academic program in a warm and nurturing environment where children learn and flourish. Valuing the experience of the whole child, MOT Charter strives to model the responsibilities which come from being part of an interdependent, yet diverse community; where open and honest communication helps build compassion, understanding, collaboration, integrity and leadership.

K-8 Academy students come ready to learn and leave ready to lead. By utilizing diverse teaching strategies and exposing students to a wide variety of educational experiences, we ensure that each child participates in, understands, and enjoys learning. Well-rounded studies include a strong visual and performing arts program, exposure to foreign language beginning in Kindergarten and two years of engineering and applied business education at the middle school level.

MOT Charter High School’s rigorous Academy of the Arts and Academy of Science & Technology programs encourage students to question, debate, challenge and learn from the world around them. Our studentcentered curriculum inspires students to pursue their passions, encourages risk-taking and creative problem solving in the classroom, and emphasizes the importance of intellectual curiosity and critical thinking. Through our technologyrich, one-to-one computing environment we work to engage our highly motivated students as they progress through our rigorous college preparatory program.

By making learning relevant, engaging, and tailored to student interests and needs, we ensure our students experience true growth, developing the skills needed to succeed in college and beyond
