Admissions
The Davidson Academy is specifically designed to meet the needs of profoundly gifted students. Our accredited classes group students by ability rather than age, offering middle and high school level curriculum. The Davidson Academy is centered on a rigorous academic environment where students can thrive among their intellectual peers. Our unique approach to learning has attracted families from across the country and globe.
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
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.
