Da Vinci Charter Academy is technology and project-based learning community. Essentially this means that students have to make a lot of PowerPoints and learn how to make-up a presentation on the spot or face public humiliation. This school was extremely liberal in its teachings, and if you didn't align you'd have few to talk to. My experience at Da Vinci was heavily reliant on the groups that I ended up in. If I had a group who wanted to succeed, great! If not, that meant failure or severe overworking. Learning to work in a group, communicate, and present are all valuable skills. Da Vinci did a better job than most at teaching students relevant skills, but they were never purely academic. From an academic standpoint, the school was mediocre. There was a high teacher turn over, any subjects in science or math were below average, and projects seemed more focused on aesthetics than content.
As a senior I don’t want to leave my school! Just in 3 years I feel like I have a connection with all of the teachers and staff that their like family to me. They always have good intentions for me with everything and always steer me towards the right path and that’s why I’ll be sad to leave next year.
I loved attending Da Vinci Charter Academy. The project-based learning style combined with it being a New-Tech school really allowed me to gain confidence in being an independent, hard-working student. The faculty and staff helped foster a supportive environment for students of all academic levels. I had personal relationships with all of my teachers and feel comfortable reaching out to them for support even now, 5 years after graduating.
