YEAR-ROUND LEARNING
Summer Camp is open to children regardless of school year enrollment. Many children attend DaVinci Academy year-round and some come back each summer.
The school year is divided into three quarters with a one or two week break in between each quarter and three special Focus Weeks between the Thanksgiving holiday and Winter Break that culminates in a Winter Showcase.
