| 5 Davidson Academy has strove to encourage and develop our children spiritually in a Christian environment, which is extremely important to our family. When we moved to TN and researched potential school for our children, we weren't able to find another school that was able to offer all the aspects we were hoping to find: academics, extracurricular activities, and a spiritual foundation. - Posted by Parent - acflo |

They also have an interest in making sure our children are successful can grow both academically and spiritually.
