Small classes, college-prep, strong community.
That’s Darrow. And there’s more.

Many independent schools can look and sound similar, but in fact, each has distinguishing features that set it apart and that create a unique culture and atmosphere for learning.

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.

Darrow students learn that success may not come on the first try, but can be approached through persistence and reflection. At Darrow it is okay to make a mistake—that is how we understand and help our students. There is something liberating in having the freedom to make mistakes, and something very rewarding in the process of personally correcting them. In the words of a Darrow student: "It is hard to describe—so much of my worrying is gone."
