Program areas at Discovery School

We are a not for profit School instructing pre-kindergarten through sixth grade children (154 students in current year). Our teachers educate children for life, not for a test. Learning larger concepts rather than collections of disconnected facts requires students to become active participants in the world - and that is when learning sticks. The ib transdisciplinary approach does not teach subject by subject, instead this approach to learning teaches from a conceptual lens. Students study broad concepts that are housed under six transdisciplinary themes. This process prepares students with foundational skills to analyze and engage within a changing world.
