  • Administrative Update - 07/10/2020

    Dear Members of the Archmere Community:

    This summer has been like no other I have ever experienced. As a result of the impact of COVID-19 on our lives, we are wearing masks on the beach and sitting in front of computer screens for several hours at a time in virtual meetings. It has been nearly four months since Governor John Carney issued stay at home orders and Archmere Academy’s academic program and school operations pivoted overnight to a virtual model. We are also engaged in important conversations about systemic racism, equity, and justice in our country that have not been at the forefront of our national dialog since the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s. We are called to acknowledge that our words and actions, conscious or unconscious, have substance and the power to hurt, but also heal. To make meaningful, progressive, and permanent change so that all members of our community feel valued, heard, and understood, we recognize the resource we have in our engaged extended school community. Your willingness to connect with Archmere’s administration out of love and commitment to our Academy, is deeply valued and appreciated.
