The University of Delaware (UD) is a state-assisted, privately governed institution that was founded in 1743. It offers 3 associate programs, 147 bachelor’s programs, 119 master's programs, 54 doctoral programs, and 15 dual graduate programs through seven colleges and in collaboration with more than 70 research centers. UD's student body encompasses more than 17,000 undergraduates, more than 3,600 graduate students and nearly 800 students in professional and continuing studies from across the country and around the globe. The University received its charter from the State of Delaware in 1833 and was designated one of the nation’s historic Land Grant colleges in 1867. Today, UD is a Land Grant, Sea Grant and Space Grant institution. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching classifies UD as a research university with very high research activity—a designation accorded less than 3 percent of U.S. colleges and universities. UD ranks among the nation’s top 100 universities in federal R&D support for science and engineering.

Archmere Academy is a private, independent and Catholic college preparatory school, grade 9-12, located on the Pennsylvania-Delaware border. Founded in the Norbertine tradition, the Archmere education focuses on the whole person, developing students into empathetic leaders. The Archmere education values a consistent work ethic; cultivates an appreciation for excellence; strives for student mastery in all subject areas; and supports students’ self discovery. Unlike many other independent schools, Archmere strives to create a diverse student body, awarding 54.3% of financial assistance and scholarships, 35% more than most independent schools, according to NAIS (National Association of Independent Schools). While Archmere carries on Saint Norbert’s passion for learning by extending the opportunity for an elite education to as many students as possible despite income levels, the school is also able to provide a real-world environment for its students to experience as they transition into young adulthood.
