MINERVA DELAND SCHOOL, located in Fairport, New York, serves as a specialized transitional campus for the Fairport Central School District. It is uniquely dedicated to the ninth-grade student population, functioning as a "freshman academy." By housing the entire ninth-grade class in one facility, the school focuses on easing the adjustment from middle school to the more rigorous academic and social expectations of high school. The curriculum is designed to provide a supportive environment that fosters student growth, encourages independence, and prepares pupils for the transition to the main high school campus for their final three years.
The school emphasizes a sense of community and personalized learning, leveraging its standalone status to build strong relationships between faculty, students, and families. Beyond core academics, Minerva DeLand promotes active student engagement through various extracurricular activities, clubs, and character-building initiatives. By prioritizing the developmental needs of 14- and 15-year-olds, the school aims to cultivate a solid academic foundation and school spirit, ensuring that students feel confident and prepared as they move forward in their secondary education journey within the Fairport district.
