Discovery School
Discovery School Vision
Discovery school students will gain knowledge and experiences needed to sustain and improve the social, cultural and ecological integrity of our community. Our students will experience challenging curriculum that complements and expands classroom instruction. Our students will be prepared for any post-high school education, technical program or career training of their choice. Discovery school students strive to make a difference in our society and environment by engaging with and exploring the region in which we live. It is our hope that Discovery school students gain a true understanding of what our community can provide for them as well as what our students can give back to our community by being active participants in a democratic society.

- Learning that extends beyond the classroom into the community.
- Curriculum that is accessible, challenging and equitable to all students with regard to race, ethnicity, economic background and learning styles.
