School officials say although a significant percentage of DVA students have been identified as gifted, that is not a prerequisite for admission. The DVA is for middle school students who are "passionate about the arts, sciences and technology; students who are goal oriented and highly motivated to learn; students who work well independently and in small groups; students who are highly creative and who thrive in a hands-on learning environment. "
A series of five meetings will held beginning Monday December 7 at which the DaVinci Academy concept will be explained for potential students and their parents.
