A
new kind of public school for profoundly gifted students, called The
Davidson Academy of Nevada, is set to open in the fall of 2006 thanks
to administrators at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR), the Nevada
State Department of Education and the Davidson Institute for Talent
Development.
The
Davidson Academy of Nevada will be located on the University of
Nevada, Reno campus as a
non-residential school for profoundly gifted middle and high school
students, who have met all the necessary application requirements.
“We
are launching The Davidson Academy of Nevada to provide an opportunity
for our nation’s brightest students to learn at a pace and depth
commensurate with their abilities and allow them to soar. This will
not only help the students, but our nation as a whole,” said Jan
Davidson, co-founder of the Davidson Institute and The Davidson
Academy.
Academy
students will be able to accelerate through the required middle and
high school curriculum at a pace appropriate to their abilities and
motivation until they become fully matriculated into the University
system through accelerated course options. Many of them will then
proceed through undergraduate and graduate level coursework as they
meet the prerequisites to do so.
