Austin Discovery School

Mission: Austin Discovery School creates socially and emotionally aware, confident, critical-thinkers and problem-solvers through interactive, hands-on lessons and relevant project-based learning. Vision: Austin Discovery School is a tuition-free, innovative charter school serving children in grades K-7. A small, community oriented school, ADS offers spacious, naturally lit, beautiful classrooms with a low student:teacher ratio. Classrooms are full of movement and social interactions as learners work cooperatively and share their knowledge with one another. ADS features hands-on math and science, integrates literacy across the curriculum, and offers fine arts and an organic Junior Master Gardener® program. Students in our program master the skills necessary to demonstrate social responsibility, good health, and environmental responsibility while creating and pursuing rigorous academic goals. There is a natural harmony when we come to appreciate and respect others, ourselves, and the environment we live in. By focusing on the whole child, ADS benefits our whole society.
