Da Vinci Connect High School is a public school that launched in El Segundo, California in Fall 2020. The school intends to serve 1000 students at full enrollment across grades K-12 with an additional 250 in grade 12+. This innovative model combines hybrid learning (both at school and remotely) with early college, social emotional learning and real world learning.

Led by credentialed teachers who are experts in student-centered education, students develop agency to propel them successfully into the adult world of college, career and purpose.
