DISCOVER

Our Mission

DISCOVER exists to help students know their strengths and weaknesses, grow in knowledge and understanding, and show application of strategic learning.

Our Vision

DISCOVER envisions a place in which every learner experiences academically and spiritually supportive relationships, which in turn, allows each student to discover God’s divine design for them and reach their God-given potential.

DISCOVER strives to provide many opportunities for student growth and enrichment. This program is designed to meet the needs of all students on all different academic levels. This program takes into account the whole child and the child’s current levels of functioning. From students demonstrating need for academic support who are significantly below grade level to students showing the need for challenge who operate significantly above grade level, DISCOVER has programs to meet each student’s needs.
