It's Throwback Thursday, and we are reminiscing about our staff's exciting start to the school year! We kicked off the 2026-27 school year with an exciting trip to Activate in Raleigh for game-based teamwork and collaboration, followed by a delicious lunch at Treyburn Country Club. At Discovery, we know that Happy Staff = Happy Kids, and we work hard to provide a fun and happy school environment for both staff and students! 😁💙💯🎉

"Incredibly nice," "super calming," and "really fun!"
That’s how our students are describing their first moments on Discovery's campus for this school year! From getting to know our amazing teachers to catching up with friends, it’s been a wonderful, welcoming start to the year.

We've opened extra spots up for select middle school grade levels for few more days! Share this reel with a potential family in the Triangle!
