Curriculum

At Community School of Davidson, our goal is to create an innovative, inspiring school to serve families in our community.  We are concerned with the total development of each student and believe that it is our responsibility to address the cognitive, social, emotional and physical development of all our students throughout each school day.  This holistic approach to educating our students is designed to help them develop into healthy and well-rounded individuals who enjoy life and learning.

The elementary school curriculum reflects our mission belief that every child can and will succeed in ways that reflect his or her own aptitudes and interests. 

Integrated Thematic Units

At CSD, while we certainly teach isolated skills, we strive to continuously give students meaningful and purposeful opportunities to use those newly learned skills.  All students at all grade levels are always participating in multi-disciplinary, integrated units of study that give the students an opportunity to participate in meaningful, purposeful and relevant studies.  Rather than memorizing isolated facts, students will ponder and reflect upon big ideas that truly matter in the larger picture of life. For every unit, there are one or two of the core commonalities studied as threads that tie our learning together.  These themes are based on the Core Commonalities from Dr. Ernest L. Boyer's book, “The Basic School.  ”We adhere to the brain research that supports helping students find connections across all learning.
