The Davis Academy has been an amazing environment for our boys. At the end of the year, our son was asked, "What are you grateful for?" He answered, "That my parents sent me to the Davis Academy!" I can think of no better testament to a school than that.

We initially chose The Davis Academy for Michael (2nd grade) and Zoey (Kindergarten) because of its small classroom environment, personalized education curriculum, and strong Jewish foundation. Over the past three years, we’ve quickly learned it’s so much more!

We have enjoyed and greatly appreciated being a part of the Davis family for the last two years. With our oldest son in 1st grade and our daughter in Mechina, we have experienced the true magic that Davis holds.
