School Profile

Welcome To Double Helix STEAM School

Opening: 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.

School Vision

To deliver an engaging, high-quality curriculum that nurtures the whole child, empowers critical thinkers, and instills a lifelong love of learning in every student.

Mission Statement

At Double Helix, we cultivate students’ intellectual growth by providing a challenging, relevant, and responsive curriculum that embraces alternative learning methods and environments. We develop critical thinkers by focusing on curiosity, creativity, and exploration. We believe in the power of learning through growth and making mistakes, fostering a growth mindset that celebrates perseverance and resilience. Our community is dedicated to nurturing and building meaningful relationships. We support each student’s academic and social-emotional growth in a safe educational environment.
