The WLC is an educational nonprofit committed to creating positive change across schools in Wilmington, Delaware. 

Spanning nine city schools and serving students from Pre-K through eighth grade within the Brandywine, Red Clay, and Christina school districts, our focus is to improve the overall educational landscape in Wilmington. 

Our primary objective is to establish a rigorous and engaging learning experience for Wilmington students, in collaboration with our families, educators, and school leaders. Through our community-focused efforts, we aim to enhance overall student outcomes within the city of Wilmington schools.

OUR 3 BIG SHIFTS

  • 1. Students First

    The WLC is focused on establishing a culture of learning centered on a shared belief that all children can achieve. We will continuously develop and invest in all adults serving the children in WLC schools, and will additionally develop success goals for all students, supported by a culturally relevant learning environment that affirms the whole child.

  • 2. Connected Schools

    The WLC aims to build connections and strengthen communication across schools, through shared resourcing and responsibility. This includes cultivating cross-school collaboration—through equitable access to learning opportunities that strengthen skills and experience—and authentically engaging with the broader Wilmington community, removing existing barriers, to sustain the work of the WLC.

  • 3. Purposeful Partnerships

    The WLC will develop partnerships that build capacity, ensuring consistent resources, access to personnel, and information across all WLC schools. We seek to deliver a community-led partnership readiness and evaluation system and launch a citywide strategy to attract continued capacity and funding support ensuring the sustainability of the WLC.

History of the WLC

    In the early months of 2022, the Delaware Department of Education, in collaboration with former DE Governor John Carney, initiated a groundbreaking joint project focused on shifting the educational landscape in Wilmington.

    Today, our nine schools, networked across our Red Clay, Brandywine, and Christina school districts, have become the center point of a strategic effort with a clear objective: empower students, families, and educators by providing them a voice in policy-making.

    The Wilmington Learning Collaborative (WLC) represents a carefully crafted agreement that stems from Governor Carney and his team’s extensive engagement with Wilmington’s families, educators, students, and community members. This initiative signifies a big step towards fostering an inclusive and outcomes-focused educational environment for our city’s students.
