Serviam Girls Academy is a private school in New Castle, Delaware offering classes in grades 5-8 for girls. Established in 2008 as an Ursuline school, it is modeled after schools in the now-defunct NativityMiguel Network of Schools. The current enrollment is approximately 40 students, most of whom live in New Castle, Newark, and the City of Wilmington. The school has a brother school, Nativity Preparatory School, which is located in Wilmington. The Academy's mission is to provide a holistic, tuition-free education for low-income girls in grades 5-8. The school's rigorous, college-focused program includes an extended school day and school year, small class size, a mandatory summer program, and support to its graduates in high school and college. ==Need to Educate Delaware's Minority Girls== Serviam operates with the following statistics in mind: * Delaware ranks 25th out of fifty states in high school graduation rates, with 39% of girls dropping out of high school. * Among minority students in Delaware, 54% drop out of high school. * While 85% of Delaware's white 8th graders meet national standards in reading and math, only 59% of African American students meet the same standards. * 58% of all teen pregnancies in Delaware were to minority girls. Serviam seeks to create change in Delaware by serving girls who most need help. Around the world, investment in the education of girls is proven to yield high returns not only for the students themselves, but also for their families, communities, and future generations. In addition, educated women earn higher incomes, have healthier and better educated children, and are more likely to participate within their communities. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Serviam Girls Academy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
