Lower School

Cultivating and Inspiring Potential

Lower School students are constantly discovering and acquiring new skills and knowledge.

At the same time, they’re beginning to express their independence and share their strengths with their community.

Lower School is a time of hands-on exploration—of academics, of social relationships, of new experiences, and of personal character.  

At Davidson Day, Lower School provides enriching experiences and student support services that ensure all students exceed their potential.

Patriots work in their classrooms, in their school, and beyond our campus, learning how to advocate for themselves and others, how to collaborate as a leader or part of a team, and how to express their natural creativity, whether in art, music, academic projects, or student clubs.

With our 8:1 student-to-faculty ratio, our teachers provide individualized attention, foster strengths, and ensure students are both challenged and supported as they prepare for academics beyond Lower School.
