Our Mission
Discovery Charter School exists to develop students who are independent productive
citizens in their educational careers and beyond. Students acquire academic knowledge
and skills in communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, citizenship, and
character. This happens within a context of integrated literacy driven curriculum focused
on STEAM and based on all state content standards, including the Common Core State
Standards (“CCSS”), Next Generation Science Standards (“NGSS”), the English Language
Development (“ELD”) Standards, the History Social Science Framework, the Common Core en
Español, and all other applicable content standards (hereinafter, collectively “State Standards”),
National Core Arts Standards and Social Emotional Learning (SEL). At DCS, students are at
the heart of all decision making.
We are focused on instructional and academic excellence. Our teachers spend an extensive
amount of time planning integrated lessons that have real life connections. Through
purposeful standards-based instruction, students leave our school prepared to be successful
lifelong learners.
