Enriching Education. Fostering Community.
The Davidson Academy is rooted in the belief that every student should be challenged, engaged, and supported in a learning environment that places no limits on what they can achieve. We have created an educational space for profoundly gifted learners to flex their intellect, explore their passions, build their sense of self and community and learn alongside their intellectual peers.

The Davidson Academy guides profoundly gifted youth to learn at a level that aligns with their abilities, in a nurturing environment that recognizes their potential and provides them with a sense of ownership over their education, abilities and individual growth.
Admissions
The Davidson Academy is accredited, and we offer an in-person learning option and an online learning option. The Academy is specifically designed to meet the needs of profoundly gifted students – an online campus for those living anywhere in the U.S. and Canada, and a day school on the University of Nevada, Reno campus for local residents. Both options are centered on a rigorous academic environment where students can thrive among their intellectual peers.
Academics
We match each student’s needs to a curriculum driven by ability grouping and flexibility, not a “one-size-fits-all” lockstep approach to education. An individualized education for each profoundly gifted middle and high school student gives each an opportunity to learn to the full extent of their abilities in a supportive environment with intellectual peers of similar age.
Student Life
For both the Reno campus and the Online campus, the Davidson Academy is designed to be much more than just a school. At the Academy, students experience friendship with intellectual peers, extra-curricular activities, community involvement and more.
2022-2023 Application
The 2022-2023 Online campus and Reno campus applications will open this fall.
