Middle School

Content Knowledge and Character Development

At Davidson Day, we understand that Middle School is among the most formative years of a student’s life. That’s why our program is designed to support both academic growth and personal development, helping students become confident learners and compassionate individuals.

Character matters just as much as what you know.

Service-Learning Program

In Davidson Day's Middle School, we know that character matters just as much as what you know. Every Middle School student takes part in our hands-on service-learning program, partnering with local organizations and making a real impact in the community. They don’t just learn about service—they live it.

Access to High School Courses

Davidson Day Middle School students are not limited to just traditional Middle School courses. Students ready to learn at the next level have the ability to learn and challenge themselves alongside Upper School students by taking world language and mathematics classes in our Upper School.

Study Skills Classes

At Davidson Day, every Middle School student takes a study skills course each year—four years of building the tools for success. These classes go beyond organization; they help students understand how they learn, take ownership of their growth and develop the independence and confidence needed to thrive in Upper School and beyond.

House System

At the beginning of their Middle School tenure, each Davidson Day Middle School student is sorted into a “house.” Throughout the year, houses compete for the coveted House Cup, earning points through acts of character and friendly competitions. Our house system is a proud Davidson Day Middle School tradition and encourages team building, school spirit, unity and fun.
