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 Workshops
Session One & Session Three
Designed for Young Scholars ages 8-11, academic exploration allows participants to engage in three unique workshops throughout their summer session. Participants will rotate through all three workshops (one per day), each taught by Davidson instructors who specialize in teaching profoundly gifted students.
Academic Seminars
Session Two & Session Four
Designed for Young Scholars ages 11-13, academic seminars allow participants 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 instructors. Participants will be provided a short evaluation of their work, which may include accomplishments and areas of growth.
