Discovery Prep
At Rocketship Discovery Prep, we believe that teaching students creative expression has a profound impact on their social, emotional, and academic development. In addition to rigorous instruction in math, science, reading, and social studies, our Rocketeers are exposed to visual art, musical foundations, and dance. Our emphasis on creative expression helps shape our Rocketeer’s values, perspectives, and understanding of themselves and the world around them.
Our Rocketeers grew 1.34 years in reading and 1.31 in math
in just ONE school year!

We named our school after the Discovery Space Shuttle, which is one of the most renowned NASA orbiters. We honor its name by teaching our Rocketeers to never give up, to fight for what they believe in, to aim for the stars, and to always help their community. The teachers here are always discovering new ways to challenge and inspire our children. As a parent at Rocketship Discovery Prep, I have learned how to advocate for my child's education.
