The Darrow School is a boarding and day school for diverse high school students from across the United States and beyond. Inspiring college-bound students since 1932, Darrow's enduring gift to every student is the agency to pursue a purpose greater than themselves. We dare, and our daring can move the world. At Darrow, it’s not just what you learn, it’s what you live. Darrow’s innovative approach to education creates a dynamic learning environment inside the classroom and throughout the school community. Darrow is a co-ed college-preparatory boarding and day school where students in grades 9–12 are motivated to reach their potential and become their best selves. Darrow’s low 4:1 student-teacher ratio, small classes, challenging hands-on curriculum, inspiring National Historic Landmark campus, and personalized attention encourage students to become critical thinkers, confident learners, and creative individuals. Darrow is a place for students to stretch themselves and reach new horizons.

Darrow School: Small Community, Big Opportunities

 

Another long-standing tradition at Darrow, stewardship of the earth, harkens back to our Shaker legacy. Darrow students study sustainability across the curriculum, helping them to become not only responsible caretakers of our historic campus, but also knowledgeable decision makers and future leaders in global environmental issues..

Living within Darrow’s close-knit community makes it easy for students to learn about collaboration and teamwork. The combination of personalized feedback from highly accessible faculty and the hands-on effort of each individual allows every student to clearly see that he or she makes a difference. Darrow students learn that success may not come on the first try, but can be achieved through persistence and reflection. They also learn that it’s okay to make mistakes—it’s part of the process of becoming a life-long scholar and a responsible citizen.
