<p>I hear that there will be an ABC News Nightline story on the Davidson Academy tonight (Monday 4 June 2007).</p>

<p>There's the school's website. Talk about a selective school....</p>

<p>Alot of CC'ers could probably get in though. haha</p>

<p>Thanks for the link to the school's Web site.</p>

<p>It's kinda scary that the admissions to this is a lot like theirs....except the davidson academy looks a lot nicer.</p>

<p>wow...</p>

<p>It seems amazingly like my school...</p>

<p>you go there chip monkey? </p>

<p>Seems pretty intense. While i think i could probably do well their, I don't think i have an IQ of above 160. DAMN! Well, at least i qualify by SAT scores i think.</p>

<p>I watched the story, and it seems like an interesting school, but I'm not gifted enough to get in either. I think similar goals can be reached at a regular public school in a county that offers Dual Enrollment. We also have College Academy here where you can start taking all college courses after 10th grade.</p>

<p>I'm kinda jealous of all of the opportunities, almost disappointed when they showed 8th graders learning what looked like the material I just learned this past semester.</p>

<p>Yes, many students in other parts of the country could get much the same experience by doing dual enrollment. The founders of the school seem determined to show an example of a school in which students thrive when they aren't slowed down, and I hope that idea spreads around the country.</p>
