I created a family inside of the school. The teachers are people to the students, they are friends, people to learn from and to joke around with. It is not uncommon to spend lunches with them if we want to. Since I attended the science focused school there was not as much art as I am pursuing, but I was able to take some art classes that were fun and full of idea. DaVinci has prepared me for presentations, even if I don't like them, and not so much for tests though. The culture of DaVinci is welcoming and as long as people communicate then there is a ton of support.

I am an alumni from the class of 2013 and I have to say that this school is amazing. Sure the old campus may have a beat down look at some parts with the peeling paint and all, but students who stay true to DV come from humble beginnings where some dust, cracked walls, or peeled paint won't faze the...
