    Da Vinci's Toolbox (DVT) 

    Ages 8-12

    Free Introductory Class Application


  • IMPORTANT NOTICE!

    Please use this form to schedule your youngster's FREE introductory class, where they will learn about our instructors and online studio operations.

    The free class is mandatory before fully subscribing as a Studio Practitioner; we actually begin the very first project with this free class.

    DVT is a training program, not a recreational program; think of it in parallel to a conservatory of music. Though our practitioners never like to leave class for the day, each and every class is cognitively and intellectually demanding, from start to finish.

  • Our curriculum and pedagogy requires;

    • a reasonable level of emotional well-being 
    • that the student practitioner operates under top 10 learning skills at an age-appropriate level, before subscribing to FoSPO, as listed below. *

     

     List of Pre-Existing Skills and Sensibilities

    1. ...is driven by enthusiasm.
    2. ...can readily make eye contact with others, even authority figures.
    3. ...presents an audible, responsive voice.
    4. ...has the courage to ask questions.
    5. ...has the courage to act in new, exploratory ways.
    6. ...presents a healthy sense of self.
    7. ...respects others.
    8. ...is excited to show another person what he or she is learning.
    9. ...works to make acquired knowledge more useful and meaningful.
