An enrollment application needs to be filled out. These applications are not available online as we encourage parents to come by and see the school whenever possible. Please call the office at (727) 298-2778 to arrange a time to pick up an application.
Academie Da Vinci does not participate in the Discovery Nights like most Pinellas County schools. Instead, we have arranged small tours of the school during the school day so that prospective families can get a sense of a typical day for our students. Since the application period has ended, tours will be given on an individual basis once a student has be admitted from the waitlist.
Enrollment Policy
The following policy is used in determining the order in which prospective students are taken off of the waitlist. This ensures fair and equitable treatment of all those interested in enrolling at Academie Da Vinci. Academie Da Vinci will follow the enrollment calendar established by the Pinellas County School Board for the School Choice Program.
Sibling Preference - Any student interested in enrolling in Academie Da Vinci who has a sibling already enrolled in the school shall be given preference. The enrollment form must be received by the school at any time during the open enrollment period.
New Enrollees - The application period is between September 1 and February 1 of the year prior to desired admission. All applications received by February 1 will be entered into an outsourced, random lottery system. Letters will be sent to parents informing them of their student’s position on the post-lottery enrollment list. All prospective students who miss the February 1 application deadline will be added to the waiting list in the order in which the enrollment forms were received after the names of those in the lottery.
When matriculation rates are known by the school, prospective students will be invited to fill the vacancies according to this policy. Parents or guardians will be given one week to respond to the invitation. If a response is not received in that time it will be assumed that the student is no longer interested in enrolling and the vacancy will be given to a student further down the list.
Family Consideration - In the event that a family with multiple siblings is interested in enrolling for the same school year, family consideration will be given. Therefore, whenever possible, siblings not currently enrolled in the school shall be given preference.
Academie Da Vinci will not discriminate during the student enrollment process.
Why is there no application online?
Very simply, Academie Da Vinci does not believe that one school will meet the needs of every child. In an effort to make sure that Academie Da Vinci's mission and philosophy meet the needs of each applicant we ask that parents contact the school for a tour. After the tour parents will have the opportunity to fill out an application if they are interested in seeking enrollment. At Academie Da Vinci we firmly believe that each child is unique and has unique needs and do our best to meet the needs of each child.
