Flexible Programming with No Constraints.
Discovery World Academy is a flexible, independent study program designed to provide personalized, engaging educational opportunities.
DWA is designed for students seeking more control of their learning who desire a more personalized and flexible approach to schooling.
Our 3-Day middle school program liberates teenagers from the constraints of traditional schools. All that we strive to do is intended to meet each student’s needs, interests, and learning styles.
Safe, Caring, Supportive, Open Environment
Discovery World Academy’s safe, warm and open learning environment. We believe that some stress can be healthy, especially if that stress is related to a student’s academic, social, and even professional goals
The course of world events is causing an abnormal and unhealthy amount of anxiety–71% of teenagers reflect this in recent surveys. DWA helps support students as they navigate the challenging teenage years.
Emphasis on deep meaning and purpose
We strive to fuel creativity; our students build the essential skills and adaptability they need to go further in the classroom and wherever life takes them.
From learning about core concepts to using their new knowledge to fuel their creativity, our students build the essential skills and adaptability they need to go further in the classroom and wherever life takes them.
We encourage students to think deeply about their innate talents and the ways in which they might use these abilities to serve their community. This is where meaning and purpose are found; real learning takes place.
We have Fun & Engaging Campuses
Independent study students and One-on-One Schools lack much needed social experiences
Each day Discovery World students interact with their friends and teachers on our fun and engaging campuses.
Every DWA student has options to participate in hands-on Quest-based electives, world-class expeditions, after-school programs, summer camps, clubs and more. Each offers engaging social experiences for our DWA students.

Find Out More About Who We Are...IRL Social Experience
Discovery World Academy families enroll in the homeschool of their choice–we recommend The BESTAcademy–but we can support all programs. Each day, depending on the program, students attend classes on our academy campus, where they work alongside friends with the support of learning coaches and experts in each content area.
Flexibility and Control
Our classes prepare students for the future they want. Your son or daughter will develop personal responsibility while gaining vital knowledge and skills—many of which allow for a more flexible school day.
When your child needs to travel, their instruction remains intact; our support remains in place.
Engaging Academics
Students interested in college prep enjoy plenty of support along the way. Their teachers embrace their goals, and experienced college counselors guide them through the college selection and application process.
If your child is interested and ready to take on challenging college courses while still in high school, our Dual Enrollment program may be the perfect fit. Our dual enrollment program enables students to take on the challenge of earning college coursework in a variety of academic subjects. Rather than just taking an AP class which approximates a college-level class, why not take the actual college classes!
Clear and Compassionate Communication
Each student works daily alongside a learning coach who helps ensure they are thriving. Learning Coaches will communicate with you, the parent, to always know how your son or daughter is doing in school. If extra support is needed, your learning coach will create a plan to ensure success.
At Discovery World, your family will be supported every step of the way–from enrolling in the home school of choice to applying for college. We are experts in supporting and mentoring teenagers and their families.
