Dear Families,

We invite you to join us for the upcoming LifeLaunch Information Session on Thursday, October 23rd from 6:00–7:00 PM at the Black Box Theater (201 N Douglas St, El Segundo, CA 90245).

LifeLaunch offers graduating seniors the opportunity to continue their education tuition-free, choosing between two exciting post-high school pathways:

  • College Pathway with Rivet School: Students can earn college credit, an Associate’s Degree (AA), or even a Bachelor’s Degree (BA) while receiving personalized academic and career support.
  • Career Pathways (Healthcare or Aviation): Students can gain industry-recognized certifications/licenses and hands-on experience that prepare them for in-demand, high-growth careers — all at no cost.

LifeLaunch provides hybrid learning options, personalized guidance, and career coaching, helping students take their next step with confidence — whether their goal is to enter the workforce or continue their college journey.

We encourage all seniors and their families to attend this important session to learn more about how LifeLaunch supports students in building a strong and affordable foundation for their future.

Real World Learning Opportunities

by

Dear Da Vinci Families,

Welcome! My name is Crissel Rodriguez, and I’m proud to serve as the Director of Real World Learning at Da Vinci Schools. I’m excited to share a brief update on how your child can stay informed about upcoming career-connected learning opportunities.

Your student has been invited to join a Real World Learning course on Canvas. Please note: this is not an academic course and does not include assignments. Instead, it serves as a communication hub where we share timely announcements about volunteer opportunities, internships, career events, job shadows, and more.

To ensure they don’t miss out, we encourage your child to accept the Canvas course invitation and enable notifications.

In addition, our team maintains a live Google document featuring a running list of real-world learning opportunities, organized by career sector. We regularly update this document as new experiences become available. You can view the document, by clicking here: bit.ly/44KDlPL

If you or someone you know is interested in partnering with us—whether by speaking in a classroom, hosting a company tour, or offering a student job shadow or internship experience—we’d love to connect. Please feel free to reach out to me directly at crodriguez@davincischools.org.

We’re honored to support your student on their journey of career exploration and look forward to a great year ahead!

Warm regards,
Crissel Rodriguez
Director of Real World Learning
