Davidson Day School is a coeducational, independent, non-sectarian, college preparatory day school enrolling students from pre-school through grade 12. We are located in Davidson, NC, a small town of 12,000 residents located about 25 miles north of Charlotte. Davidson is home to Davidson College, a highly selective liberal arts college, which is one mile away from the Davidson Day School campus. Founded in 1999 as Acclaim Academy, the school was renamed Davidson Day School in 2001. In Fall

2007, we moved into a new academic facility to accommodate a growing student population, and a new arts and athletics center opened in January 2009. In Spring 2009, Davidson Day School graduated its first class of 10 students. The Class of 2021 has 53 students. The Upper School at Davidson Day School is comprised of a diverse student body that is educated by an exceptional faculty committed to providing excellence throughout all facets
of our learning environment. We embrace a Socratic classroom that fosters critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and strength of character. Our curriculum includes collegiate choices throughout all departments, and we challenge students with Advanced Placement courses in English, Math, Science, History, World Language, Technology, and the Arts. Students at Davidson Day are expected to utilize a sense of inquiry, deconstruct sophisticated material, and fuel class discussion with cogent commentary.
