The Davidson Academy Student Quotes
 | Annalisee
"Having these great teachers at The Davidson Academy and the University, wonderful friends, amazing opportunities, preparing for a music career, and applying for universities nationwide. I don’t know and don’t want to know where I would be otherwise if I hadn’t have taken the last minute chance and moved up here. I wish the same for everyone who comes here!"

"I have been attending the Academy for two years now and I can assure you that it was the best choice I have made in my life. I know for those of you who don’t live in Reno, moving here can be difficult. My family and I were also worried about moving, but the transition was well worth it and I don’t regret the choice one bit."
-Darlon is in his second year at The Davidson Academy, 2007 - 2009 |

"The Academy offered an environment I had only dreamt of in previous schools. I found myself immersed in a school that offered not only an academic level beyond any I had experienced before, but also a social environment that I enjoy. The students and staff are helpful and friendly, and I've made friends here that I hope to keep for life."

"Along with all of my Academy activities (I’m the founder of the school newspaper/literary journal, Re(a)d, and secretary of Student Council), I’m very involved with the University of Nevada, Reno, and will be on the staff of the University’s literary and visual arts journal, The Brushfire, this upcoming semester."

 | Taylor
"My personal obsession is nuclear science. It was awesome coming to the Academy, because, even though I didn’t expect it, I have many resources here to further that interest. I have made many friends in the Physics Department at the University of Nevada, Reno, and have even been given lab space to work on one of my projects, all thanks to the fact that I am an Academy student."
-This is Taylor's first year at The Davidson Academy, 2008 - 2009 |
 | Chloe
"All of the kids here are really invested in academic success and the teachers and advisors are dedicated to helping us with our goals. I won’t lie and say that my first semester has been perfect or totally stress-free, but I’m telling the truth when I say that it has allowed me to achieve things I never would have thought possible."
-This is Chloe's first year at The Davidson Academy, 2008 - 2009 |
 | Misha
"...unlike many other students, I am originally from Reno. Long before I came to the Academy, it was my dream to find a school that would challenge me and allow me to reach my full potential. In fact, by the time I was in middle school, my family and I were willing to move to another state in search of such a school."
-Misha is in her third year at The Davidson Academy, 2006 - 2009 |

"The most important difference between the Academy and a public school is the student body: Everyone is exceptionally smart. Lunchroom conversations move quickly and cover subjects ranging from dating to Nietzsche to air hockey . . ."

 | Rachel
"At the University, I have room to really explore the subjects that I enjoy. I’m really into foreign language, so this semester I’m taking a high-level Spanish class and second-year Japanese. As a part of my Japanese class, I’m expected to meet with a university student from Japan so that we can help each other learn our native languages. "

"One of the Academy's really cool features is that we have writing and math centers in which the older students and teachers help students who need assistance with anything in their classes. "

"The Academy’s partnership with the University of Nevada, Reno, makes it possible for Academy students to take nearly any class at the University they want to. The courses that I’ve taken, both at the University and the Academy, have challenged me and taught me how to think."
