Why Families Choose Da Vinci Tree Online
Our Background and Philosophy
Da Vinci Tree Online prepares students for real life.
Our school was founded by educators who became frustrated with traditional systems that were failing too many students academically, creatively, and emotionally. We believed students deserved something better — a school designed for the future, not the past.
That is why Da Vinci Tree Online:
Focuses on the STEAM disciplines driving the careers of tomorrow — Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics.
Equips students with real-world skills including critical thinking, creativity, communication, leadership, and technological fluency.
Has a proven track record of success, with former students going on to universities, trade schools, entrepreneurial ventures, and rewarding careers.
Keeps the best class ratios at only 2-10 kids per teacher.
Making Online Work
Too many online schools are impersonal and asynchronous — placing students in front of prerecorded videos with little meaningful human interaction.
Your child deserves better.
At Da Vinci Tree Online (DaVTO), we understand both the challenges and the opportunities of online education. That is why every DaVTO student is supported by one or more dedicated teachers who actively teach, guide, encourage, and interact with students throughout the entire school day.
Our classrooms are live, engaging, and deeply relational. Teachers continuously develop creative new ways to keep students connected, motivated, and excited to learn each day.
Because real learning happens through real human connection. We are proud to say that every image featured on this website shows a real Da Vinci Tree student or staff member. We do not use stock photography or hired models — every smiling face truly belongs to our community!
