Wonderful school and has an amazing staff. All the teachers are committed to their profession and go above and beyond to teach the students moral values, respect, and discipline. They work hard to make sure each child learns and improves individually and academically. The nurse is great and so caring. The music teacher is phenomenal. She gives each child an opportunity to find their voice and passion, gain confidence, and evolve in their talents. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Academy Of Dover Charter School.

I am a parent of a student at the Academy of Dover Charter School. I can tell you that the numbers on this website are NOT up to date. The school started offering 6th grade for 2020-21, is now offering 7th grade for the upcoming 2021-22 school year and adding 8th grade for 2022 and on. There is a new principle as of two years ago and the staff is exceptional. This school focuses on each child individually and makes the necessary accommodations to make sure each of their students are learning to their best potential. I am extremely pleased with AOD and recommend this school for anyone with kindergarten-age children to begin their academic career.
