Our daughter attended this school from pre-k to first grade. The pre-school was phenomenal, community oriented but unfortunately had continuous turn over with directors. Post-pandemic was difficult for the school and atmosphere switched drastically with teachers carrying huge amounts of stress, large disconnect between admin and parents, and no community activities.We ended up pulling our son and moving to the school a previous Davis director had moved on to as we felt Davis was now focusing on its business and less on the education of our children or cultivating community.It seems we made the right decision.Our daughter has just started public school in second grade. Davis told us at every point our daughter was doing great academically and would have no problem matriculating.After our first meeting with our daughters teacher we were notified they are incredibly behind, intervention has been started and testing for multiple academic issues are being done.Davis told us our daughter loved math but as a second grader the school informed us that they are incredibly behind with no ability to identify double digit numbers.If Davis had notified us earlier we would have had thé opportunity to intervene sooner. We were told at every step our daughter was thriving.I am sharing this review for other parents to know this school did a phenomenal job with connection, kindness and curiousity but will not let you know if your child is struggling academically.

A hidden gem: Davis Community School. For those seeking a small, intimate school setting, their school is phenomenal. Our 9yo boy is truly happy here, and we value the community, academics and creative, holistic, project-based learning approach.

In a few short weeks I have learned a tremendous amount about abstract painting techniques. Thanks so much to Kat, an encouraging and incredibly knowledgeable teacher.

I recently took a portrait painting class at Davis studio and enjoyed it very much. We learned a lot of technique and color theory, and our teacher Mallory struck the perfect balance between suggestions/help and letting us figure out on our own how we were going to achieve our vision. I'm looking forward to my next class!

My kids have been engaging with summer camps at the Davis Studio for years. Both have enjoyed the camps and learned new things.

I would not recommend their summer camp.I just want to note the lack of professionalism in their response below; sharing personal information about my child online in a public space is inappropriate.

Davis Studio has been a staple for our family for 4 years. Great teachers! Great art!
Caroline Côté
My son enjoyed the two weeks he spent at Davis Studio this summer. He will get back next year!
I am loving the Painting the Natural World adult class at the Davis Studio! Kat is an amazing instructor and I love communicating in person with others interested in learning and sharing lots of different techniques and styles. Highly recommend!

My son has participated in the wonderful Art and Education programs at the Davis Studio for the past 5 years. I can't say enough about how these experiences have helped him refine his art and feel like he belongs to a community of artists. He is a confident, empowered and skilled artist due to the excellent instruction and opportunities provided to him through the Davis Studio. The Davis Studio and the people that teach/work there are truly a gift to the Greater Burlington community!

Summer camps are well done (communication, drop off/pickup, themes). With instruction and art projects in line with the weekly theme they intersperse plenty of outdoor play. Glad to have this resource in our town!

Davis Studio is such a treasure in the community. We've had so many varied and rich experiences from amazing summer camps to inventive birthday parties to dining in the Starving Artist Cafe (RIP). Teresa has been a tremendous resource in terms of understanding and empathizing with non traditional learners and Lyndsy Blais as the director of the school comes from a truly child-centered background.

My kids have attended numerous summer and vacation camps and after school programs at Davis Studio in the past few years, and we have always had a positive experience. We like the range of topics, room for individual creativity, and the fun and caring teachers.
Preschool is a mess, do not recommend.
