Student Projects & Activities
Hands-on, project-based learning is a vital part of the students' experience at Da Vinci Academy. Throughout the year in all grade levels, students participate in a variety of projects, activities, and field trips. Some are focused on specific academic areas, others are creative and experiential, and others are opportunities for community service.
