DA VINCI INNOVATION ACADEMY

Da Vinci Innovation Academy is a public charter elementary school that is part of the Wiseburn Unified school district, located in Hawthorne, CA with about 411 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. With about 13 teachers, Da Vinci Innovation Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 31:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Da Vinci Innovation Academy (DVIA) is a unique, tuition-free public charter school located in Hawthorne, California, serving students from Transitional Kindergarten through 8th grade. The school distinguishes itself through a "hybrid" homeschool-inspired model, which emphasizes a blend of on-campus instruction and home-based learning. This approach is designed to provide families with increased flexibility while maintaining a strong connection to a structured, project-based curriculum that fosters student agency, collaboration, and personalized growth.

At the core of the DVIA experience is a commitment to "real-world" learning, where students engage in multidisciplinary projects that connect classroom concepts to practical applications. The school prioritizes a supportive, community-focused environment where parents are viewed as integral partners in their children’s education. By combining small class sizes, personalized learning plans, and a culture of innovation, Da Vinci Innovation Academy seeks to develop well-rounded students who are prepared to think critically, solve complex problems, and thrive in an evolving global landscape.
