Academics

High School Curriculum

While some other schools may emphasize conformity, Davidson Academy cultivates independent thinking. From the earliest grade levels, students are learning how to think, not just what to think. This approach to teaching empowers our graduates to thrive in a world of continual change and increasing complexity.

Our Curriculum

Faculty may make recommendations prior to and at the end of each course regarding a student’s beginning and continuation in honors courses.
