A Message from the Supervisor of Academic Instruction
-
At Davies, it is our goal for all students to receive unsurpassed academic instruction in a safe learning environment. We offer students multiple opportunities to succeed and enrich their knowledge and understanding of the world. We want all students to be college and career ready by offering them access to rigorous academic coursework.
Our curriculum and instruction prepares students to be successful on the PSAT 10 and SAT, which measure college and career readiness. We have established pathways that offer students advanced coursework opportunities (Pre-AP and AP) in each subject area.
Students also have access to higher education through concurrent and dual enrollment offerings. All students have access to earn the Seal of Biliteracy upon graduation, recognizing those students who are proficient in more than one language.
Our mission is to ensure all students receive rigorous academic preparation to accompany their career and technical education in order to create college and career-ready students for tomorrow’s workforce.
