love love love this school! Da Vinci provides a creative outlet that lets them learn as well!! Its an amazing school, and I am so happy to be apart of it. Unlike most schools, Da Vinci has a sense of community, and because of the group projects, everyone gets to know one another. Also unlike regular public schools, the students get to know and develop a personal relationship with his or her teachers. Each teacher has noticeably stood out in one way or another, because the have different and unique personalities that show through there teaching styles. Da Vinci prepares you more for your future then other schools do, you learn many different skills then just simply filling out worksheets . Using hands on experience and project based learning, I think everyone would agree that Da Vinci is an amazing a unique school that provides a wonderful environment for developing youths.
Students who are not self motivated will not get a quality education. The educational material tends to be selected to fit the opinions of the teachers.
My child is one of those bright, talented, prickly kids that tends not to fit in even in 'wonderful' schools. He approached Da Vinci with trepidation. 6 weeks in, it is was scepticism. By the end of the first semester, he's a 100% committed Da Vinci student. The teachers really look for ways to reach each kid, and somethimes that's not easy. BUt they don't give up, and they are very flexible; the rewards are worth the effort. The Principal, Matt Best, is inspired. Please don't let the other overhyped Davis Schools know about him and steal him away. The other Davis schools are good only because the kids are such overachievers, not because the schools are anything special. By contrast, Da Vinci is great because the school and staff are simply great. Failure is not an option, and they WILL find a way for all to succeed.
The most amazing teaching staff I have ever meet. The truly care about every kid and 100% committed to make each one of them succesfull in life!!
the manner of which a student is treated/disciplined/suspected of at this school by a teacher is highly dependent on his or her reputation as a student (some of the staff is very impressionable and tend to judge). the school has a divine motto and goal, though.
Da Vinci HIgh School is a wonderful school. Project-based learning and laptops help us use the Internet and our peers (in addition to our teachers) are our greatest resource, which we use daily to help reach a common goal in our projects. The teachers at Da Vinci are very involved and caring about us as students, and everyone helps contribute to the community feeling in our small (330-strong) school.
Just want a brief description of the school. Have a grandson who is interested. This school year he will finish 8th grade
Best. School. Ever. My child is so engaged in learning and participating at this school. I have never seen such dedicated teachers, in my school experiences or my child's. The project-based learning means the students really 'learn how to learn' and they will carry this skill with them their entire lives. I would give the school more than 5 stars if I could!
Da Vinci is great! The teachers are awesome and the classes are really interesting and have a great learning environment!
Wonderful environment for any student, lets any student advance in all areas! Highly recommended for any child that is intereted in becoming a leader in the world.
