Founded in Okinawa in 2008, Da Vinci International School combines international academics with a whole-child approach to learning and well-being.
Raising a healthy child—physically, mentally and emotionally—is a beautiful but immense challenge. Founder Dr. Eugenia Padovani describes turning to Child Psychology during her own early experience as a mother, then bringing those insights into an educational project that became Da Vinci International School.
Nearly two decades after arriving in Okinawa, her goal remains to combine the perspective of a mother, teacher, child psychologist and school director in support of children and families.
