 "I am so proud that Darrow has helped me grow into a person who cares about other people. I am proud that I have been a Core Leader and a Diversity Prefect. I am proud of taking physics and calculus, and having the confidence to sing a blues solo in front of an audience. Most of all, I am proud that I will always be a part of the Darrow community."
Dominique, Class of 2011, Newark, New Jersey
Why Darrow
Many independent schools can look and sound similar, but, in fact, each has distinguishing features that set it apart to create a unique culture and learning atmosphere. The only school to be situated in a historic Shaker village, Darrow offers a learning environment that reflects an appreciation for collaboration, community, hands-on learning, and the rewards of productive, fulfilling work.
Perhaps the greatest way to summarize all of the differences at Darrow is to say that we take education to a personal level. Students live and work together with faculty in an environmentally conscious setting, where teachers and students are always available for consultation and collaboration. The combination of personalized feedback from highly accessible faculty and hands-on effort from each individual allows every student to clearly see that he or she makes a difference.
Our rigorous, comprehensive, hands-on, college-preparatory curriculum supports individual interests and personal learning styles, preparing students for life beyond the Mountainside.
