Teacher Pay
Da Vinci Tree Academy prides itself on providing its teachers with competitive pay.
Da Vinci Tree exists to enrich the lives of our students. In order to do that, we place a high priority on our teachers and support staff. This assures that quality providers of education are retained year after year.
In accordance with A.R.S. §15-189.05, as added by Laws 2018, Ch. 285, §3, a school’s budget shall include the prominent display of the average salary of all teachers employed by the school for the budget and prior years, and the increase in the average salary of all teachers employed by the school for the budget year reported in dollars and percentage. Schools must also prominently post this information on their website home page separately from its budget.

Donations
Donations to the school can be general or specific. Please let us know if there is a specific purpose you would like your donation to be put towards.
ALL donations are used directly for students and/or in the classroom. There is a 3% card processing fee, and this is the only portion of your donation that does not have a direct, positive impact on a student or classroom. If you would like to get around the 3% processing fee, you can always mail a check to our school at 8055 E 22nd Street Tucson, Arizona 85710. Please include your name and contact information with every donation. We would like to send you a donation receipt so that you can deduct your donation on your taxes. Da Vinci Tree Academy is operated by STEM Arizona and is a 501(c)3 non-profit. Donations by residents of the State of Arizona qualify for a dollar-for-dollar credit against your state taxes. Individuals can claim up to $200 of this credit and married couples can claim up to $400. For more information, please visit the Arizona Department of Revenue here. Arizona Tax Credit donations for any year can be made until April of the next year.
