We will provide you with information about schedules, guidelines and important deadlines.

Completed applications, the application fee of $100, and all required forms and records must be received in our Admission Office by as soon as possible in order to be eligible for consideration in Rolling Admission decisions (based on availability. Please contact Admission Office) To ensure your application for admission is complete by this deadline, please make sure to give Teacher Recommendation Form(s) and Transcript Request Forms to your child’s current teacher, guidance office, principal or Headmaster as soon as possible. Be sure to make it clear to your child's current school that you need this information sent to Davidson Day School’s Admission Office.
Admission Testing is also required. Our Early Childhood through rising 4th Grade students will take their test at Davidson Day School. These tests include the Woodcock Johnson Aptitude or Achievement tests. As these are individually administered tests, please be sure to schedule your child's testing date as early as possible. Testing must be completed as soon as possible for Rolling Admission. Applications are not complete without testing. There is an additional fee for testing. All rising 5th through 12th Grade students take the ISEE (Independent School Entrance Exam). Because all area independent schools use this test, your child can take this test at any number of dates, times and locations from October through April. Testing is done on Saturdays and takes several hours. Test results will then be sent to the school or schools you are applying to. Information for signing up for a test date are listed in the ISEE brochure included in our Admission Packet. ISEE testing will be offered at Davidson Day School several times during the school year. Please register on-line at www.erbtest.org. For consideration in our first round of decisions, students should take the test before our February 16th application deadline. There is an additional fee for the ISEE test. If you are applying for Financial Aid, please contact the Admission Office for information about on-line applications. It is the sole discretion of Davidson Day School to determine the financial aid amount, if any, to award a family. All financial aid inquiries are confidential. Davidson Day School does not base its acceptance of students based on financial need. We encourage your child to also apply for one of our many Merit-based Scholarships. These scholarships are offered to rising 5th through 12th grade students who can demonstrate how Davidson Day School would benefit from their unique merit and talents. Headmaster Scholarships can range anywhere from $1000 up to 50% of tuition costs. Please contact our Admission Office for more information as application deadlines apply. After our application is complete for Rolling Admission (based on availability in grades):
