Da Vinci Schools are proud to announce that we have received full accreditation by WASC, the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, for a four year term through June 2013.

The visiting committee noted several school-wide areas of strength, including:

• Our schools provide a high quality learning environment.
• Our schools have supportive partnerships with local businesses and corporations.
• We have developed a system to serve students with different learning needs.
• The schools' leadership team has a clear sense of purpose and direction.
• The parent community and students feel valued and connected to Da Vinci Schools.
• Da Vinci students are happy and productive.
• Staff members have positive attitudes about students and their learning, providing students with high levels of self-confidence.

WASC accreditation certifies that Da Vinci Schools are trustworthy institutions of learning and validates the integrity of our schools' academic programs as they support student learning. Accreditation also assures families that our purposes are appropriate and being accomplished through a viable educational program. Da Vinci Schools are certified by the California Charter Schools Association and are members of the Coalition of Essential Schools and the California Consortium for Independent Study.
