Collaboration fuels discovery, and discovery sparks understanding.
In Mx. Tyler’s classes, students regularly engage in group work at the whiteboard, collaboratively solving equations. This approach to problem-solving—ranging from identifying patterns to developing proofs—promotes both confidence and academic growth at Darrow.

🪚🪵 Real skills. Real confidence. Real Trust.
In Mr. Villinski's woodworking class, students build the confidence and focus it takes toward safely with high-powered machinery. It's more than just building tangible things, but rather trust, patience, life skills, and responsibility.
A huge thank you to all of the college coaches that have stopped by open gym this week! #GoDucks
Mr. Segal always reminds us that inspiration is everywhere — today he took his drawing class outside for landscape sketches behind The Joline, where students were inspired to slow down, look closer, and let the mountainside guide them!

This year’s ceremony included thoughtful reflections from Mr. Vadnais, Mr. Saarela, and Student Body President Camila W. ‘26. A special thank you to Mr. Ellsworth for leading us in the singing of our school song - a reminder of the shared values that unite us!
Starting in the Tannery, and ending around the candlelit pond, Convocation is a beloved and beautiful experience on the mountainside!
