Hockessin Private Schools

Hockessin, DE has a small private school scene with 7 schools serving 1,426 students, and the schools are generally accessible with a 91% average acceptance rate. The strongest sign for parents is the solid academic offering, while the main area to weigh is that private school choice is limited compared with larger areas.

• Average class size is 16, which can support more individualized attention.
• Schools offer an average of 11 AP courses, giving students access to stronger college-prep options.
• Average tuition is $11,875, which may be manageable for some families considering private school.
• The area includes well-known options such as Sanford School, Wilmington Christian School, and The Hockessin Montessori School.
• Religious affiliation is identified as Christian, which may be important for families seeking that environment.

• Only 7 private schools are available, so families may have fewer school-style choices.
• The 91% average acceptance rate suggests many schools are broadly accessible, but admissions competition may be limited.
• School fit may depend heavily on the type of program a family wants, since the market is relatively small.
