About Us

Delanco Schools strive to offer a well-rounded relevant education to our students. At the Pearson School  there is a strong emphasis on reading/language arts literacy and math. This focus continues through all elementary grades. As students reach middle school, along with our core curriculum, we offer other courses that help expose students to a variety of academic areas. Students can take art, music, cooking, drama, computers, Spanish and other enrichment courses in which they have an interest. There are also several athletic and extra curricular activities for middle school students. We have comprehensive basic skills and special education programs for students who need additional support.

Our Board of Education members work tirelessly to ensure the very best possible educational program for our students. We have an outstanding dedicated teaching staff. They go above and beyond their regular duties during and after the school day to help students succeed. Our custodial/maintenance staff takes great pride in keeping our buildings in excellent condition. Our buildings are regularly used by the community for basketball, volleyball, scouting, dance and aerobic classes, community band, township meetings, assembly programs and concerts.

This year we are doing renovation/construction projects at both schools. These projects will prepare us for an influx of students from two new housing developments. At the Walnut Street School we are renovating two existing rooms, creating a media center/computer lab. A new addition will include a classroom, a small group instruction room and a warming kitchen. At the Pearson School a much larger addition will include six classrooms, a gymnasium, a computer lab, a full-service kitchen, a conference room and central offices. The project will also include air conditioning and new heating systems for both schools.

We are very proud of our students, staff and schools. We will continue to work hard to provide our students with the very best educational programs possible.
