Darrow is a place where every kid can shine!! My son has truly discovered his best self at this extraordinary school. The teachers help students to become motivated learners, they engage the students in and out of the class, and just care about each one so that he/she feels valued. I know that he will graduate in a few years with a curiosity about the world that will serve him for the rest of his life.
As a parent of a graduate of Darrow School, I would like to commend the teachers, especially those in the the English and History departments, for their excellence.
The Darrow School's principled approach to learning and living in a caring community has had an enormous impact on our son. He has grown and developed into a person who now has a clear idea of who he is, what he values and where he wants to go. It is hard for us to ask for more than that. Darrow's small size and energetic, supportive staff and teachers- many of whom also serve as dorm parents, tutors and advisors- promotes and encourages a way of life where self-respect, respect for others and personal responsibility are the rules and not the exceptions. It is a community where doing one s best and playing by the rules trumps your won/lost record and trash talk. Darrow has been a life changing experience for our son.
My daughter has been at Darrow for two short months, and already I am completely impressed with the school and grateful for its impact on her life, both academically and personally. Our daughter began to thrive immediately at Darrow, where opportunity has been the hallmark of her experience. Her coursework is rigorous and challenging. Yet, guided and encouraged by her student advisor and academic tutor, she made high honors in her first semester. She has been happily engaged from morning to night in theatre, music, sports, academic projects and social activities. Darrow has offered the right environment for our daughter to step forward as a leader. . The combination of nurturance and challenge at Darrow has been ideal for her growth and happiness.
