Faculty & Staff


Student talents are supported and nurtured by a tremendously professional and skilled faculty.  Students are led to discover their passions, whether it is in the classroom, on the athletic field, on the stage, in the art room, behind a microphone, or in the band. 

Students can truly discover their potential at Caravel Academy.  Our faculty encourages students to reach their full potential by incorporating higher order thinking skills, student centered learning, collaboration, and critical thinking.

The faculty at Caravel inspires students to develop a lifelong love of learning in a safe and supportive community.

2015 Mickelson ExxonMobil Teachers Academy

Caravel fifth and sixth grade science teacher, Sarah Mills Keever ’02 was one of 155 teachers from across the United States to be selected to attend the national 2015 Mickelson ExxonMobil Teachers Academy.  The program is a weeklong, all expense-paid, professional development for elementary teachers that equip them with innovative ways to teach science and math and inspire their students in these critical subjects.

In 2005,  ExxonMobil partnered with PGA Golfer Phil Mickelson, and his wife, Amy, to launch the Academy.  Today, more than 4,500 teachers have been trained on effective math and science teaching techniques, impacting more than 300,000 students nationwide.

More than 1,500 teachers submitted applications to attend the 2015 Academy at Liberty Science Center in New Jersey from July 27-31, 2015.  From this group, 155 teachers were selected based on their qualifications, dedication to inspiring students at an early age and overall commitment to enhancing the teaching profession.  Mrs. Keever was the only teacher from Delaware to attend this year.
