Stronger Together: How Collaboration Across Da Vinci Schools Benefits Every Student
At Da Vinci Schools, collaboration isn’t just something we talk about, it’s part of our DNA. Since day one, our mission has centered on real-world, project-based learning that connects K-12, college, and career. But behind every meaningful student experience is another kind of connection, the way Da Vinci educators across schools come together to share ideas, align practices, and build on one another’s success.

Introducing LifeLaunch: A Bridge to College and Career Success
This fall marks an exciting new chapter — the official launch of LifeLaunch, a free college and career programming initiative designed to help young adults take their next steps into college, career, and adulthood with confidence and support.
At its heart, LifeLaunch is all about connection — connecting students’ potential to real opportunities, and connecting learning to life beyond the classroom.

Da Vinci Students Sharpen Career Skills with Mock Interviews at Belkin HQ
Da Vinci’s new Work Experience Program (WEP) kicked off this fall with its first mock interview event, held at Belkin International’s headquarters in El Segundo. Professional partners from Belkin, Fabletics, and Da Vinci's Central Office conducted one-on-one mock interviews with students, offering an authentic glimpse into the professional world and helping them practice essential career readiness skills. LifeLaunch students also participated, joining WEP students in gaining hands-on experience with professional interviews.

Alumni Spotlight: Jaylon Jones – From Da Vinci to Stanford and Beyond
College and career success doesn’t happen by chance — it’s built through purpose, persistence, and the people who believe in you. At Da Vinci Schools, that belief runs deep. From project-based learning and real-world experiences to the powerful mentorship of teachers who see each student’s potential, Da Vinci students gain more than academic skills — they gain the confidence, curiosity, and community that prepare them to thrive in college, career, and life.
Jaylon Jones, a Da Vinci Communications Class of 2022 graduate, is living proof of that impact.
