ABOUT DELTA STEAM ACADEMY

D.E.L.T.A STEAM Academy (DSA) is a K-8 tuition-free public charter school serving students in Douglas, South Fulton, South Cobb, Carroll and Paulding Counties. D.E.L.T.A stands for “Deliberate Excellence Leads To Achievement”. When our vision is fully realized, we will be the BEST in the country at producing the next generation of culturally conscious, critical and creative thinkers. Our instructional model is a full immersion STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) project-based learning environment. Our art of choice is performing arts - focusing on dance, theater, music, and voice - infused throughout our curriculum.

We endeavor to prepare students to diversify STEM fields, where less than 9% of employees are of African American or Latino descent. As such, our students are taught daily through the engineering design process and intentionally focus on 21st century skills of collaboration and critical thinking. While learning to think deeply and creatively, students are also developing the character and habits of mind that will enable them to be not only academically successful but also socially and emotionally adept.

We opened the doors of our first campus in Lithia Springs in August of 2020. Come join us as we build and make history!
