Double Helix is small private school serving 4th - 8th graders.
It is a school that celebrates the intersection of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math.
We are rooted in standards, but not bogged down by them.
We are a school in which "teachable moments" drive instruction.
This is a school that allows students to construct their own knowledge through projects and explorations without sacrificing the need to build requisite skills.
We meet children where they are; we know where they need to be; and we honor multiple ways of getting there.
