The DGS Experience

Here’s what makes Davidson Green School a nurturing and inspiring place for young learners to thrive.

Small Class Sizes

Our intentionally small class sizes mean every student receives personalized attention and support. Teachers build strong connections with each child, creating a supportive and personalized learning environment.

Hands-On Learning

Learning comes to life through our project-based approach, where students dive into real-world challenges. Our method sparks curiosity, builds confidence, and develops practical skills they’ll carry for life.

Prepared Environment

Our Montessori-inspired classrooms are thoughtfully designed to encourage independence and exploration. With multi-age groupings, students learn at their own pace while building collaboration and leadership skills.

Connection to Nature

Our beautiful 3-acre campus provides endless opportunities to learn and grow in harmony with nature. Students develop a deep appreciation for nature through hands-on experiences and sustainability projects.

Community Engagement

DGS students engage with the world around them through hands-on field trips, service projects, and school-wide events. Each experience encourages them to grow as compassionate and engaged members of their community.

No, we are committed to the K-8 model. In a K-12 school, high school programs and facilities receive most of the school’s attention and resources. At DGS, K-8 is the focus of all we do. This allows middle schoolers to thrive as school leaders, free from high school social pressures, while receiving the attention and resources they deserve. Our model sets your child up to enter high school academically, socially, and emotionally ready to take on the next challenge.
