The curriculum at the da Vinci Institute is designed to encourage all students to share in the responsibility for making choices that will facilitate the learning process. da Vinci believes that all children learn that children learn in different ways and that this process occurs at different times for different children. Most importantly da Vinci believes that childhood should be a journeynot a race.
