👀 Look at what our Kindergarten Stingrays can do!

This young scientist didn't just learn about dolphins—she illustrated her learning, and used her growing phonics skills to write complete informational sentences independently. That's the power of a strong academic foundation combined with creativity.

At Duval Charter School at Southside, our Arts & Science focus helps students become confident readers, writers, thinkers, and creators from the very beginning. Through explicit phonics instruction, hands-on learning, and meaningful opportunities to express their ideas, our students are building skills that last a lifetime.

If you're looking for the a strong start to their education, now is the time to enroll for VPK, Kindergarten, and even first grade at DCSS!

🌟 Strong Academics
🎨 Arts Integration
🔬 Hands-On Science

🎓💙 A Special Look Back at Our 8th Grade Moving Up Celebration 💙🎓

As we begin summer break, we're taking a moment to reflect on one of the most memorable milestones of the school year—celebrating our amazing 8th grade Stingrays as they moved on to their next chapter.

Watching these students walk across the stage was a reminder of just how much they have grown during their time at DCSS. From their first days in our classrooms to becoming leaders among their peers, they have filled our halls with laughter, determination, and Stingray pride.

We are so proud of each and every student. Whether they are continuing their journey at a new school or returning to be part of our growing high school program, we know they are destined for great things.

Thank you, Class of 2026, for the memories, the achievements, and the impact you've made on our school community. We wish you a summer filled with adventure, relaxation, and excitement for all that's ahead.

💙 Once a Stingray, Always a Stingray! 🦈
