ABOUT DA VINCI X
Da Vinci X’s college program, founded in 2015, builds upon the success of the Da Vinci Charter Schools and blends college, career and life to support students in their journey to becoming happy, healthy adults. 
 
At DVX, students have the opportunity to complete a two-year associate’s degree, a four-year bachelor’s degree, or a one year GAP program that enables students to transfer to a four-year university. Each cohort of students meets in a blended format two evenings per week at a Da Vinci site through UCLA Extension, Southern New Hampshire University, and/or El Camino Community College. Students have access to tutoring, advising, and teacher/professor office hours at Da Vinci as they complete their college coursework. The program also focuses on holistic life skills through access to diverse supports and “adulting” classes in topics such as mental health, financial planning, and grit to support students’ transition into becoming lifelong learners. Students then leverage these tools by gaining exposure and access to real world opportunities through on-the-job work experience in high-skill, high-demand jobs through paid and unpaid internships, certificate programs, and strategic mentoring opportunities aligned with their personal interests.

Applications are due on or before March 2nd.

Trespassing on local privaty property

by

DVC Students & Families,

Please remind your student to please be respectful to all the businesses that surround our campus. Students should never walk through private parking lots or enter private sections in local retail areas.  Unfortunately, we have received several complaints about Da Vinci students trespassing on private property, and these businesses will begin contacting local police to issue trespassing tickets for students caught on their property in the future. In order to maintain positive relations with our business neighbors, we need your cooperation and support. Please continue to remind your student that positive behavior is expected and greatly appreciated.

Thank you
