Catching the Dreams of Tomorrow, Preparing Young Women For the 21st  Century:  The Delta Academy was created out of an urgent sense that bold  action was needed to save our young females (ages 11-14) from the  perils of academic failure, low self-esteem, and crippled futures. Delta  Academy provides an opportunity for local chapters to enrich and  enhance the education that our young teens receive in public schools  across the nation. Specifically, we augment their scholarship in math,  science, and technology, their opportunities to provide service in the  form of leadership through service learning defined as the cultivation  and maintenance of relationships.  A primary goal of the program is to  prepare young girls for full participation as leaders in the 21st  Century.
