The da Vinci Academy is a unique and special place for students to learn and grow. The staff is committed to seeing each child succeed and meet their individual needs. Through a variety of programs, ESL, Talented and Gifted, CSD (Autism), Resource, Preschool, Dyslexia, and many more, the school touches the lives of learners from a variety of backgrounds and with a diverse spectrum of needs. Their approach to learning through the arts, as well as being child-centered makes them ideal for students who may not fit in other schools. They are committed to all students belonging and succeeding. Their dedication to the overall well-being, including social/emotional wellness, has helped to address the significant impact the pandemic has had on both children and families. I am proud to teach at the da Vinci Academy and to recommend them to anyone looking for their child to have a quality education where they will be loved and supported as they go through elementary school.

Both my sons attend The da Vinci Academy. It is truly a great school! Both boys learn differently and had bad experiences at other schools. Now they are thriving because the teachers care deeply about their success, the kids are friendly, and the administration made sure they got the help they needed.
