Stated Principal Nadia Sammarco and Vice-Principal Joseph Carlucci: “At Leonardo da Vinci Academy, we realize the importance of keeping children happy and eager to come to school each and every day because this will ensure their success and perseverance in school, Our enriching educational program focuses on providing our students with bilingual instruction with additional emphasis on numeracy, technology and music. We strongly believe in the partnership between teachers, staff, parents and community. The famous quote, ‘It Takes a Village to Raise a Child,’ holds true. Only through the collaborative efforts of all partners, will our students truly succeed.”
