Welcome to Da Vinci Academy, and thank you for visiting the Admissions section of our website. Here you will find helpful information about our admissions process and requirements, printer-ready versions of our application materials, tuition & financial aid, and a sign-up form to request more information.

I became Director of Admissions at Da Vinci Academy in August 2005, and from the start I have felt at home here. I grew up in Dallas, TX and attended the same independent school from first grade all the way through high school graduation. I know the profound impact those 12 years in a challenging and enriching independent school environment had on me, and every day at Da Vinci Academy I see our students having similar experiences. It truly is a joy to see the energy and enthusiasm Da Vinci students and teachers share in the classroom. I am honored to help introduce new families to our unique school community.

Choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions parents can make, and we welcome the opportunity to talk with prospective families about the advantages and benefits of a Da Vinci Academy education. On behalf of our school community, I invite you to come see for yourself what makes Da Vinci Academy a place where bright minds take flight.

Thanks again for your interest in Da Vinci Academy, and we hope you enjoy exploring our website. I am happy to answer questions, so please feel free to contact me at 847-841-7532 ext 226 or via email at joldham@dvacademy.org.
