About Darrow School

"At Darrow School, we are dedicated to serving students with diverse backgrounds and abilities, building on each student’s individual talents and interests to inspire enduring confidence for success in college and life.”

This quote is our Mission Statement, a guiding force in all we do at Darrow.
We are mission-driven, and we take pride in living up to that charge. Darrow provides the right mix of challenging classes, structure, encouragement, and strength of community, for students to reach their full potential as motivated, thriving, college-bound learners.

Darrow is distinctive among independent schools, thanks to its historic site, its integration of sustainability themes across the curriculum and in daily life, programs like Hands-to-Work, and the belief that learning can happen in and out of the classroom. All of these features contribute to our success. Because of our small, close-knit community and unique approach to teaching, our students flourish.

No other school has what we have here.

The theme of our recent and successful capital campaign was Changing Lives: A Campaign for Darrow. Lives of students have been changed for nearly 75 years at Darrow School through rigorous academics, close relationships with faculty, an abundance of individual attention, life-long friendships, hands-on learning, and the special spirit of the Shaker mountainside.

As you journey through the website, you will have a chance to see for yourself how Darrow changes lives.

At Darrow - A distictive learning environment

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."
