Mount Pleasant Elementary School
Supporting Unique and Diverse Learners
Gifted Education Services
The Brandywine School District recognizes the rights of all students to an education that provides for maximum development of their academic potential. Students who show the potential for performing at remarkably high levels of academic accomplishment when compared with others of their age, experience, or environment may require support services which offer opportunities for acceleration and enrichment beyond those usually offered. Outstanding academic gifts and talents are present in children and youth from all cultural groups, across all economic strata, and in all areas of human endeavor.
In the Brandywine School District, gifted services are offered in specific schools for grades K-8. Students identified for gifted education attend the school listed for their grade level.
- Grades K-3 Mount Pleasant Elementary School
- Grades 4-5 Claymont Elementary School
Multi-Language Learners (MLL)
Mount Pleasant Elementary provides MLL services to students whose native language is not English. Our students are extraordinary—with nearly 30 English Language Learners coming from many different countries. Our students’ diversity enriches every aspect of the learning experience.
Special Education
At Mount Pleasant Elementary, and in the Brandywine School District, we provide a continuum of services based on each child’s individual needs. General and special education teachers and support staff work collaboratively with students and families to create a meaningful education program in the least restrictive environment. We support students’ academic, behavior, and social-emotional development through evidence based interventions and strategies. We believe ALL children benefit from inclusive practices.
