Most independent schools rely upon additional revenue to cover the costs of delivering an outstanding educational experience, and Davidson Day School is no exception.

Offering a dynamic learning environment staffed by dedicated and experienced teachers requires resources beyond tuition. We rely on the commitment and involvement of our entire community to support the people and programs that make Davidson Day School so special. This means exceptional teachers, small classes, and extraordinary opportunities for our students, both inside and out of the classroom. This outstanding experience translates into more personal attention and increased intellectual stimulation for each child.
