Delmas schools can refer to several educational institutions located in different regions around the world, including South Africa, Haiti, Canada, and the United States.

In Delmas, Mpumalanga, South Africa, Hoërskool Delmas is a public, bilingual (Afrikaans and English) high school established in 1953. The school is coeducational and offers both day and boarding options, accommodating students from grades 8 to 12. Hoërskool Delmas is accredited by the Mpumalanga Department of Education and is known locally as “Dellies.” The school participates in a wide range of sports, including athletics, cricket, cross country running, golf, hockey, netball, rugby, and tennis. In 2014, enrollment was about 670 students, and students enjoy modern facilities, including two hostels on campus[1]. There are reportedly about 30 schools in the Delmas region, serving all local suburbs and townships[8].

In Haiti, the College Chrétien de Delmas (Delmas Christian Schools) serves 603 students from preschool through grade 13 and also includes a nursing school and preacher training program. Supported by Hope for Haiti’s Children, the school operates in a multi-use facility that also houses a church, seminary, and kitchen. The school offers a variety of educational and humanitarian services, such as installing a well, running a hot lunch program, and upgrading classroom furnishings. Many of its students and teachers benefit from sponsorship and grant programs to cover essential needs[2].

The Delmas F. Morton Elementary School is located in Grand Prairie, Texas, USA, and is part of the Grand Prairie Independent School District. As of the 2021-2022 school year, the school had 459 students, with a significant majority (over 83%) considered at risk of dropping out. Nearly half of the students are enrolled in bilingual or English language programs, reflecting a diverse demographic with over 74% Hispanic, 14.8% African American, and smaller percentages of White, Asian, Native American, and multiracial students. The school is not a charter school and serves grades EE-05. Teacher experience averages 7.2 years, and the student-teacher ratio is roughly 13.4:1[3][4].

Historically, Thunderchild (St. Henri) Indian Residential School operated from 1901 to 1948 near Delmas, Saskatchewan, Canada, serving the Thunderchild Reserve and surrounding area. The school has since closed[7].
