Fred T. Korematsu Discovery Academy (KDA)

Our Mission

At Korematsu Discovery Academy, we foster students to become leaders, questioners, and critical thinkers by providing a nurturing environment where students will be both celebrated and challenged to reach their maximum potential. This foundation will empower each student to grow both academic and emotional intelligences and become agents of change in a modern society.

Our Vision

At KDA, we aim to foster a nurturing community where all students are valued, heard, and celebrated. Through building lasting relationships, responsive instruction, and high academic inquiry, KDA students will find joy in learning. By partnering with the community, KDA will foster competent free thinkers, learners, and change agents who are prepared for college, career, and life.

ALL OF OUR LEARNERS CAN BE: 

• Effective communicators who will use verbal, written, artistic and technological forms of communication to give, send and receive information.

• Inspired Learners who are accountable for demonstrating, assessing, and directing their present and life-long intellectual growth.

• Productive Workers who perform collaboratively and independently to create quality products and services that reflect personal pride and responsibility.

• Responsible Citizens who have a global and multi-cultural perspective, and who take the initiative for improving the quality of life for self and others.

• Resourceful Thinkers who independently and creatively strive to solve complex problems through reflection, risk-taking, and critical evaluation.
