Application Information
| Applications accepted |
We invite interested families to contact us and begin a conversation about what our school has to offer and how our program may fit the needs and educational goals for your child. families schedule a one-on-one admissions tour or attend one of the admissions open house events scheduled throughout the year. this initial visit can be just for the parents, or they may bring the child/children with them (visits & testing). during the tour, the director of admissions will explain the next steps, the application materials, and other requirements.
iq testing is not required for applicants to pre-k or kindergarten, although families are welcome to have kids tested at this age. in the absence of iq results, the pre-k and kindergarten teachers will observe and test applicants during the initial tour or the full-day class visit to help determine the child's skill level and readiness for our program.
families who enroll in the school should be prepared to provide current student physical and health/immunization records.
our pre-k program is for children age 4, with some flexibility if students turn 4 after september 1st but demonstrate readiness to begin our program. |

School Philosophy & Day in the Life
School Philosophy and Mission
"Da Vinci Academy provides intellectually gifted and talented students a unique educational community that develops a student's strengths, interests and potential. We offer a challenging curriculum focusing on the learning process, personal growth and self-direction enabling students to become productive leaders in an ever changing society.
Da Vinci Academy was founded specifically to serve the educational needs of gifted students. Children with exceptional academic and intellectual abilities need the right type of school and educational environment in which to thrive, and since opening its doors in 2000, Da Vinci Academy has worked toward being that kind of place. The school's philosophy, curriculum, faculty, and administration are all focused on serving families with gifted students. Our goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment in which students have every opportunity to develop and realize the full potential of their skills, talents, and abilities. And as our students grow as thinkers and learners, we also aim to help them mature as leaders and citizens."
