DaVinci Academy of Science and the Arts
We still have room in 7th Grade! Do you know a 7th grader that we need to know? We want to get to know them! Fill out a Student Referral sheet in the office, or call Mrs. Kidd at 409-0710 and we will set up a time to meet with the student and their family to discuss the impact the "DaVinci Difference" will have on their student's education.
Important School Event: Fall-in for students, September 9-10
The DaVinci Difference: We transform students! At DaVinci our school culture is central to the unique education we provide. Our focus is on innovative teaching, student-centered learning, and providing meaningful opportunities for our families to be involved in our school. At DaVinci, its not enough to know- we teach our students to apply and experience life through the lense of a global citizen. We care about each other. We care about our environment. We care about giving back.
Since our beginnings in 2004, DaVinci has graduated over 150 students, placed in the top high schools in the state, and recieved the recognition of "State Charter School of the Year in 2008". Ours is the difference a school can make when it focuses on what and how students learn. Our school is small. Our class size is limited. Our administration knows our students. Our teachers inspire our students every day!

Our Story
DaVinci Academy was the brainchild of a coalition of business, science, education and community leaders early in 2003. The concept of creating a high school in downtown Ogden that provided the knowledge and skills students needed in the 21st century was compelling for many. After months of work, DaVinci Academy was chartered by the Utah State Board of Education and opened its doors in August 2004 with the mission of integrating science and the arts after the example of the original Renaissance man, Leonardo da Vinci.
