Being a student at Davidson Academy goes beyond academics and extracurricular activities.
We truly believe in preparing our students for college, life and eternity. Our guidance counselors
foster this environment by regularly meeting with students to talk about a wide range of topics,
from choosing the right college to personal issues at school or at home.
Davidson Academy also offers an extensive college counseling program that encourages students
to prepare early for college admission and to consider a broad range of post-secondary education
opportunities. Davidson Academy counselors carefully guide students and their families through
the process of application and admission to college.
