More information is available on the PPS Enrollment and Transfer site: /Page/2343

There are 150 slots for 6th grade and a few each year for 7th and 8th grades, depending on space. 

We cannot accommodate visits during the school day for prospective students but invite you to review our website.

As a focus option school, da Vinci Arts Middle School accepts applications from students who reside throughout the PPS school district. We seek to serve a culturally, ethnically, and economically diverse group of arts-interested learners in grades 6, 7, and 8. Students need not be accomplished in the arts, but a strong interest is essential to success at da Vinci. Our goal is to create a rich arts-filled learning environment for students, staff, and families.
