Discovery & Learning Academy (K-5)
Students in school
 

Discovery and Learning Academy accelerates student learning and is grounded in social and emotional support relevant to the many cultures of our students. Math and literacy are an intensive summer focus in this program, and students also participate in music, art and physical education through active and engaging projects. Onsite and offsite field trips enhance student learning. Caring, committed teachers ensure a well-rounded educational experience for all students with access to technology resources to support learning. Students entering grades K-5 are eligible to participate.
