Double Helix STEAM School Photo #1 - Middle school is where "the rubber meets the road", that doesn't mean that students have to lose their love of learning or curiosity,

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.
