Da Vinci Extension Information Session this Thursday, April 20 at 6:30PM
We wish to invite you to an information session next week to learn more about changes to our Da Vinci Extension (DVX) program and an exciting new partnership with Rivet School.
As many of you know, DVX has evolved considerably since it was established in 2015. Each year, we’ve iterated programming based on a variety of factors, but always with students at the center of our decision making. Over the last few months, we have been actively exploring what the next evolution of our DVX program should be. After much discussion and engagement at all levels, from teachers and staff to counselors and leadership, we have decided to focus our efforts on a more streamlined, single program offering with Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) and our new partners at Rivet School. > More info
DV seniors who choose to continue their journey with DV + Rivet School will enroll in college at no cost to the student or their family. Da Vinci is committed to providing a pathway to associate and bachelor’s degree completion without financial barriers. Students will participate in a flexible, online accredited degree program with opportunities for in-person meetings and career-connected learning on the Da Vinci Connect/DVX campus.
We know that College Decision Day is approaching (on May 1st). We invite you to join us to learn more about DVX + Rivet.
