The Davis Academy

What The Davis Academy does

The Alfred & Adele Davis Academy (doing business as The Davis Academy) is a private Reform Jewish day school in Atlanta, Georgia, operating across two campuses on Roberts Drive in Sandy Springs (Lower School at 8105 Roberts Drive serving Mechina through 5th grade; Middle School at 7901 Roberts Drive serving 6th through 8th grade). Founded in 1990 by a task force including Ann Davis, Carol Nemo, Jan Epstein, Rabbi Alvin Sugarman, and Harriet Zoller, and named after Alfred and Adele Davis following a gift from Dulcy and Jerry Rosenberg together with Jay and Ann Davis, the school claims the title of the largest Reform Jewish Day School in the country. The core academic program spans Mechina (Kindergarten Prep) through 8th grade and integrates rigorous secular academics with Hebrew and Spanish language instruction, Jewish values education (the proprietary L.O.V.E. framework and Tzedek curriculum), arts, athletics, and an Innovation Studio, supported by a 6:1 faculty-to-student ratio, SACS and SAIS accreditation, and a 99% reported high school acceptance rate.

The business model is tuition-driven, with annual fees for 2026-2027 ranging from $19,800 for Mechina to $35,290 for 6th-8th grade, with a $6,380 Davis Learning Center add-on. Approximately one-third of students receive tuition assistance, and a Jewish Community Professional Day School Tuition Grant provides up to 50% reduction for qualifying families. Secondary revenue streams include the Extended Day Program, After-School Enrichment courses, Nurture Programs for ages 0-5, and the Davis Fund / Golf Tournament fundraising apparatus. The school serves families across 31 metro Atlanta zip codes with international representation from nine or more countries, supported by a highly subsidized bus program covering nine suburbs. In 2025, the school was acquired by EpicQuest Education Group International Limited, transitioning it from an independently governed nonprofit to a subsidiary of a publicly-traded international higher education provider. Operational technology is standard third-party school infrastructure (Finalsite, Veracross, CLARITY, SmugMug, ISSUU) with no proprietary AI or advanced technical components.
