"Playing three sports and taking AP classes taught me how to manage my time and to be able to meet deadlines...it also helped develop my research, writing, presentation, and collaboration skills...the biggest thing I use in my line of work from DA is my interpersonal and communication skills. Two of my favorite classes at DA were speech and senior research project. In both classes you have to be able to speak to a large audience about a given topic...I believe I would not be where I am today without the skills I learned as a student at Davidson Academy. I was challenged and was able to grow overall as a person while a student at DA."
