Davidson Summer Program Academics

2025 Academics

Davison Summer Programs has two academic models, designed to best fit the needs of Young Scholars ages 8-11 and ages 11-13. Learn more about the academic models and 2025 courses below!

Academic Exploration

Session One & Session Three

Designed for Young Scholars ages 8-11, academic exploration allows students to engage in three unique workshops throughout their summer session. Students will rotate through all three workshops (one per day), each taught by Davidson Academy instructors who specialize in teaching profoundly gifted students.

Academic Seminars

Session Two & Session Four

Designed for Young Scholars ages 11-13, academic seminars allow students to select one of three academic areas of focus, which involves three-and-a-half days of instruction and hands-on learning. Participants create an end-of-session project from their seminar coursework.

These project-based academic seminars are taught by Davidson Academy instructors. Students will be provided a short evaluation of their work, which may include accomplishments and areas of growth.
