The Davidson Academy offers two accredited educational options specifically designed to meet the needs of profoundly gifted students – an online campus for those living anywhere in the U.S. and Canada, and a school on the University of Nevada, Reno campus for local residents. The online school, offering both full-time and single course enrollments, further strengthens the Davidson Academy’s commitment to the profoundly gifted population by bringing the Davidson Academy experience to students whose families are unable to relocate to Reno. Both options are centered on a rigorous academic environment where students thrive among their intellectual peers. Classes are grouped by ability level, rather than by age, thereby providing profoundly gifted young people an educational opportunity matched to their abilities, strengths and interests.
