Academics

Our academic programs are designed to teach students the knowledge, skills and attitudes that will best prepare them for success in a global society.  Da Vinci students and teachers bring a diversity of knowledge, experiences and accomplishments to our school community.  We all share in an intense curiosity and love of learning.  We strive to provide a stimulating academic curriculum that is challenging and appropriate for our student body.  Our faculty foster rigorous, collaborative learning environments where students can develop their critical thinking skills, take creative and intellectual risks, and deeply engage in the content.  

As part of our upcoming agreement with Buffalo State College, students of Leonardo daVinci High School will take college courses.  Starting sophomore year students will take Public Speaking, a college course that will be taught by a daVinci teacher using the Buffalo State curriculum. During students junior and senior year of high school, they can take 3-4 college classes per year. Tuition and books are covered by the partnership agreement.  Enrollment and successful completion of a college course will result in a student earning college credit. Students can earn up to 27 college credits before high school graduation. 

 Leonardo da Vinci students go on to study at colleges and universities around the world.
