Why Work at Darrow?
There is something remarkable about Darrow School. Perhaps our historic Shaker Heritage or our location nestled between the Berkshire Mountains and the Hudson Valley. Or maybe it's our community of individuals where everyone belongs.
Living, Breathing History
With just over 100 students from around the world, Darrow offers faculty, staff, and students a dynamic boarding school experience. Founded in 1932 on a beautiful 365-acre Mountainside campus, we are the only boarding school community on a National Historic Landmark. Our campus was once home to the Mount Lebanon Shaker Society, renowned for its community planning, architecture, commercial and industrial endeavors.
Campus Culture
There's always something exciting and thought-provoking happening at Darrow. With a lively campus culture, faculty and staff have opportunities to regularly attend and participate in a diverse array of year-round events, including Tuesday Night Community Programing, fitness classes, concerts, performances, talks, lectures, live theater, Winterm, Hands-to-Work, and art exhibitions. Additionally, there are countless opportunities for collaboration on several campus-wide projects and initiatives for those willing to serve their community.
World-renowned Arts and Culture
Darrow is at the center of world-renowned arts and culture. From music venues in the summer to a range of live stage performances, dozens of museums, and historic sites. Cultural festivals and various artistic concerts speak to the region's diversity, while art colonies and craft villages offer inside views of skilled artisans at work. One of America's first art movements started in the Hudson Valley. Today, Modern art is well represented in places such as Storm King Arts Center and Dia: Beacon, both international destinations.
There's so much to enjoy working at Darrow, and the community offers something for everyone. What do faculty and staff love most about working at Darrow? It's the warm and welcoming atmosphere, the meaningful work we do, and the fact that we are a small community with a big heart.
