Da Vinci Academy was founded in 2000 as an independent school serving the needs of intellectually gifted children and has 135 students in grades Pre-Kindergarten through 8. Da Vinci students love coming to school to work alongside caring teachers who understand and embrace the unique ways in which bright kids think and learn. We encourage the intellectual creativity and curiosity of our students, and we support the growth of their minds and character. The school draws families from the local area (St. Charles, Geneva, Elgin, South Elgin) and from across the west and northwest Chicago suburbs.
The proceeds from this auction will be used to enhance and sustain the exceptional educational programs and services offered at Da Vinci Academy. As an independent school, Da Vinci Academy relies exclusively on tuition, private donations, and fundraising to provide a learning environment that is tailored to the needs of intellectually gifted and talented students.
Again, on behalf of Da Vinci Academy's students, staff, and parent volunteers, thank you for your generosity, we have enclosed a donation statement for you tax records.
With Gracious Gratitude,
The Da Vinci Academy Annual Benefit Auction Committee
