Community Engagement

Davidson Day's Community Engagement Program values proximity, partnership, action, reflection, and belonging in alignment with Davidson Day School’s mission to foster academic excellence through collaboration, creativity, and character development.
  • Our Davidson Day community is our students, faculty, and families, and our values are proximity, partnership, action, reflection, and belonging.
  • Our community partners are local, state-level, national, and international organizations, thought leaders, philanthropists, and humanitarians whose missions and solutions prioritize relief, development, and compassion pertaining to youth and education.
  • Students will enhance academic excellence by participating in the lifecycle of service learning defined by education, action, and reflection and presented as class-level charity events, hands-on community activities, leadership opportunities through the Upper School Community Engagement Council (CEC), community partner meetings, student presentations, and more.
  • Outcomes of involvement include developing and accruing self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management as core competencies throughout K-12 educational experiences.
  • The vision of Community Engagement as a practice at Davidson Day is to deepen students’ community connections through leadership and service.
