The Discovery School vision is built around six pillars, the first of which is to challenge students academically. Teachers are encouraged to incorporate higher order thinking skills, problem solving, research and application.  The second pillar states that staff will recognize and provide programing for socio-emotional needs.  The third pillar emphasizes that our students need to learn how to learn, which includes note taking and summarizing.  On the fourth pillar we recognize that our students need to have opportunities to be globally connected.  The fifth pillar identifies our parents as very important members of our learning team.  The sixth pillar calls on our school staff to be innovative and collaborative as they embrace effective practice.  All staff members are expected to exhibit a commitment to excellence in education.
