Why Work at Davidson Day?

Small Class Size

Our small class size enables our teachers to form close relationships with students. Our teachers get to know each student, how he or she thinks, and how to motivate each one to reach his or her full potential. We offer strong academics in a small, personal setting, which fosters creativity, collaboration and character development. Our ultimate goal is to prepare students to chart their own unique paths in college and in life.
