Why
should the Discovery Academy be of interest to school
districts? The reasons are simple. For years educators have known that
interdisciplinary, thematic approaches to teaching and learning are both
beneficial and enjoyable for teachers and students. The Discovery Academy’s
approach to teaching and learning is just that: thematic and
interdisciplinary.
