Academics

Intellectually Curious, Open-Minded Learners

We believe that the good in academics is found in scholarship. As they learn how to think rather than what to think, boys engage in critical analysis with an open mind. They are challenged to go deeper, beyond the superficial.

Incorporating the most current educational research to maximize true learning and deepen understanding, signature experiences transport boys beyond the walls of the school. Our Spanish immersion program runs from Pre-K through Grade Eight. Interdisciplinary learning, effective communication, and the development of fluency in a second language build scholarship. Public speaking and deportment are emphasized in all disciplines, and boys gain confidence through frequent practice. The school employs Harvard University’s Teaching for Understanding throughout the program as a common teaching and learning framework.

Guided by faculty who know how best to reach and teach boys, Saint David's boys learn actively and joyfully, collaborate strategically, and creatively solve problems. They are prepared for a rapidly changing world.
