Stronger Together: First-Ever Community Conversation Celebrates the Wiseburn + Da Vinci TK–12 Pathway
On February 2, Wiseburn families came together for the first-ever Community Conversation focused on the seamless pathway from TK through high school and beyond.
While parents participated in a panel discussion and meet-and-greet with leaders and trustees from Wiseburn and Da Vinci, students engaged in hands-on activities and interactive learning experiences of their own, making it a meaningful night for the whole family.
Designed especially for our younger Wiseburn families, the event created space to build shared understanding, explore the opportunities available at Da Vinci high schools, and strengthen connections across our community.

Creating the Future, One App at a Time
Highlights from the Wiseburn Middle School AI Hackathon, sponsored by the Wiseburn Education Foundation
If you’ve ever wondered what your child’s future with artificial intelligence will look like, here’s one reassuring answer: It looks thoughtful. It looks collaborative. It looks human.
On February 20-21, 50 middle school students — 42 from Wiseburn Middle School and 8 from Da Vinci Connect — spent two full days doing something many adults haven’t yet tried — building their own AI applications from scratch.
