Darrow School, founded in 1932 on the site of the original Shaker community, is a boarding and day school for grades 9-12 offering a comprehensive, hands-on, college-preparatory curriculum in a supportive environment. A 4-to-1 student-to-teacher ratio allows for a high level of individual attention, and an average class size of nine students affords all students the opportunity to actively participate in the learning process.
Students respond to Darrow's approach, as recognized by Emily, Class of 2009, who says, "Darrow has taught me more about myself than any other school I have ever gone to, and that alone proves that I have found what I am looking for."
