History

Davidson Day School, formerly Acclaim Academy, was originally located at 404 Armour Street in Davidson and rented space from the factory that occupied the building. In 2007, Davidson Day School relocated to its current location, 750 Jetton St.

Arts

Every year, the Davidson Day theatre department hosts a winter and spring production.

Athletics

Davidson Day School has moved from 1A to 2A given the growth in student body size. The girls varsity soccer team won the school's first team state championship in 2010–2011. After moving up to 2A for the 2011–2012 season, they won the State Championship against defending 2A Champions, Caldwell Academy, in overtime. The girls soccer team won the state championship again in the 2012–2013 season.

The varsity basketball team were state runners-up in the 2011–2012 season.

The school fielded a varsity football team for the first time in 2011–2012 and won the NC Private Division III State Championship. The football team competed in the larger Division II in the fall of 2012. They received national attention after Davidson Day junior quarterback Will Grier threw for 837 yards and 10 touchdowns 35 of 42 passes in one game on November 9, 2012, in a 104–80 victory over Harrells Christian Academy.
