The Elizabeth W. Murphey School
The Elizabeth W. Murphey School, Inc. is a non-profit organization providing residential group care, and transitional care for homeless young adults located in Dover, Delaware. In 1922 Sanford S. Murphey founded the School as a tribute to his mother, Elizabeth. The facility is called a school because Mr. Murphey said, “I wish it to be free from those unhappy associations which so often have been connected with children’s ‘homes’; and furthermore because I conceive the rearing of children in all aspects as an educational work.” Originally, the school was designed for children whose parents could not provide for their children. The children would live at the Murphey School under conditions as close to a family situation as possible.
Although there have been some changes in the type of individual who is accepted into the program, including children who are homeless, every effort is made to continue working with the family. This work includes work with community agencies attempting to resolve the issues related to homelessness.
The current residential program is designed to provide supervision, structure, and direction to youth referred for care throughout Delaware. Referrals for admission are accepted from the Department of Services for Children, Youth and Their Families. The Murphey School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, religion, national origin, or any other status protected by law.
