Middle School

Fourth through eighth grade students recently attended a field trip to City Springs Theater, where they experienced the moving production of Come From Away. This powerful, true story highlights extraordinary acts of compassion, humanity, and community in the aftermath of September 11. Through this meaningful live theatre experience, students were encouraged to reflect, build empathy, and engage in thoughtful conversations that extend far beyond the stage.

Davis' Shrek Jr. featured over 150 talented students from Mechina to 8th grade, delivering four sold-out performances. This annual Broadway-style musical is a highlight, with students shining both on stage and behind the scenes, creating a unique and unforgettable experience.

Middle school spring athletics are officially underway! Students are hitting the fields and courts for baseball, track and field, tennis, golf, and soccer, putting in hard work during both practices and games.

Get ready, Davis — things are about to get ogre-the-top!
Behind the scenes, our talented student performers, dedicated volunteers, and hardworking tech crew have been putting in the final touches to bring Shrek Jr. to life. From perfecting lines and choreography to fine-tuning lights, sound, and set design, every detail is coming together for our show this Sunday.

7th grade took learning beyond the classroom on our annual Holy Sites Tour! From the peaceful grounds of Ignatious House Jesuit Retreat Center to the stunning architecture of the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir and the serenity of the Dharma Jewel Monastery, students explored different faith traditions and discovered the diverse spiritual landscape of Atlanta.

Eighth grade artists created whimsical watercolor tree paintings after exploring the symbolism of trees and their roots. Inspired by the vibrant, imaginative style of contemporary artist Eli Halpin, students used flowing shapes, bold colors, and mirrored compositions to connect the branches above with the roots below.

Shrek rehearsals are in full swing! There is tremendous excitement among cast and crew members as they come together to practice their acting, singing, dancing, and all the behind-the-scenes technical aspects of the upcoming production.

At The Davis Academy, creating opportunities for meaningful interfaith connection is intentional and part of a broader program designed to foster understanding, respect, and collaboration across communities. As part of this effort, our 6th graders welcomed students from Queen of Angels Catholic School for a morning of shared learning and friendship. Together they prepared challah dough, Davis students taught their guests how to write their names in Hebrew, and the visit ended with lively biblical-themed trivia, reminding everyone that while traditions may differ, shared values bring communities closer together.

Sixth grade students had a great time playing and singing numerous beloved tunes at the Rock 101 Concert! This event was a crucial component of the curriculum, providing an opportunity for students to show the skills they developed for performance!

6th graders had a blast with the Elephant Toothpaste experiment, comparing it to a cinder cone volcano! Just like how magma bursts out in a volcano, the foam exploded in a dramatic release of gas. It’s a quick but powerful eruption, just like a cinder cone’s fiery activity!
