Lakeside Charter Academy

Both our kids have been at the school for last 2 years. One of the best schools in the area and very well managed by the church leadership team.

We have had three students go through Grand Oak with unique needs. Grand Oak has met all of those needs. Our kids were both challenged and supported. The teachers and staff are fantastic, and the parent community is very involved.

I started working at Davidson Green School teaching Science and Engineering because I recognized something rare: a truly unique learning environment, a passionate and caring faculty, and the freedom for teachers to bring their own passions to life in the classroom. Who wouldn't want to work there?Now, as Head of School, I have the privilege of carrying forward the mission of DGS—a mission rooted in curiosity, compassion, and authentic learning. DGS is a place where kindness, empathy, and care for one another are not just values we talk about—they are at the very heart of the daily experience.With such a supportive environment, students truly thrive. They are immersed in a rigorous, hands-on academic program built around project-based learning, where curiosity leads the way and deep thinking is the norm. Our curriculum is intentionally integrated and designed to help students make meaningful connections across disciplines, solve real-world problems, and see themselves as capable learners. Learning frequently extends beyond the classroom into the natural world, where sustainability, environmental stewardship, and outdoor exploration are woven into everyday experiences.At the same time, our approach honors each student’s social and emotional development, helping them build confidence, resilience, and a deep sense of belonging.Davidson Green School is more than a school—it’s a community that nurtures the whole child and empowers each student to become a thoughtful, capable, and compassionate human being. I am honored to be a part of it.
