Discovery is a wonderful school. Their program combines academics with developmental instruction. Enrichments such as art, technology, gardening & cooking are integrated throughout instruction. The field trips are so integrated with instruction and are an extension of the classroom. This make learning relevant, interesting and fun. The school is parent participation, K-8. Close Quote
