Curriculum Supplements

DaVinci Academy places a strong emphasis on utilizing curriculum supplements to enhance the educational experience for students. These supplements play a crucial role in our approach to education by complementing, enriching, or extending the core curriculum. Our Instructional Leadership team collaborates closely with our teaching teams to identify the most suitable materials that align with the specific learning needs of individual students or classes. Our dedicated educators are empowered with the autonomy to incorporate these resources into their teaching when they deem it necessary to support instruction effectively.

To ensure that families are well-informed and engaged in this process, we encourage them to attend open houses and parent conferences, stay updated through regular school communications, and to reach out to teachers or administrators whenever they have questions or concerns. This collaborative approach to curriculum supplementation at DaVinci Academy aims to provide a well-rounded and tailored education that meets the diverse needs of our students.

Middle School (6-8)

Middle school serves as a transition between elementary school and high school, and choosing the right middle school for your child is a critical decision that can shape their academic and personal development during the formative years of adolescence. We recognize and address middle schoolers’ unique needs, preparing students for high school by providing rigorous instruction with built-in and pull-out support. We also understand that middle schoolers often need help with organization, and daily What I Need (WIN) time helps students develop study skills.

Tremendous social growth also takes place during middle school. Daily recess time allows DaVinci middle schoolers the opportunity to work off their energy and socialize with friends. Middle school overnight field trips allow students to create strong bonds with their classmates and teachers. These field trips are connected to what students are already studying in class, and many middle schoolers identify these trips as the highlight of their time in middle school.
