facility has 11 classrooms, student study areas, three music practice rooms,
an art room, school library, and a sports and activity area.

The Academy offers access to laptops and wireless Internet as
well as the latest in smart classroom technology.
Academy students have access to a private courtyard, which can be used for schoolwork, projects, or just to take a break and enjoy the weather outdoors.
The Davidson Academy places great importance on peer relationships and social development. The Pine Lounge above is a great place for students to interact, study and do homework.
Numerous music courses are offered at the Academy. Students can take courses such as
classical music performance, jazz improvisation and music theory.
High importance is placed on the Academy's core values, such as "Pursuit of Knowledge", pictured left.
All six of the core values are displayed throughout the school and reinforced in the students'
day-to-day interactions. As a reflection of the community of respect and trust
cultivated at the Academy, students do not have locks on their lockers.
