Curriculum
Davidson Academy’s curriculum enables Academy graduates to leave with a solid, broad-based foundation of knowledge. Unlike many traditional school settings, the Academy’s classes are not grouped by age-based grades but by demonstrated ability level.
Our curriculum is designed for highly gifted children and teens. Each student creates an individualized Prospective Learning Plan, working with their family, guidance counselor, and curriculum team.
