Mt. Airy No. 27 School is a historic one-room school built in 1863 in Centreville, New Castle County, Delaware. It was designed and built as a one-room, one-teacher school, and operated as such from 1863 to 1932.[2] It is now used as a private residence.

A gable-roofed portico stands in front of the entrance, with a small bell tower or cupola on the main roof just above it. Three large six-over-six windows are on each side of the building.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 at 5925 Kennett Pike (Delaware Route 52) but is now most easily accessible from Selborne Drive.[3] In 1983, at the same time the school was listed the Centreville Historic District, the Joseph Chandler House, and Carpenter-Lippincott House, all located nearby, were also listed.[4]
