Academics
The Darrow Curriculum
The Darrow School is hands-on, minds-on, hearts open. Students tangle with complex equations and insightful author essays. They engage in spirited debates across subject areas like English, the Arts, History, Math and Science, and World Languages. Problem-solvers are made here. Students get dirty through hands-on experiments and projects, discover arts and athletics, practice sustainability.

The Darrow School Reviews
Darrow has amazing facilities and program offerings for a small, independent boarding school. From our top-notch performing arts center for music, theater and media engineering, to the he Kurtz Innovation Center, where students explore new technologies, to The Living Machine™, the country's first ecological wastewater treatment center located in a high school, to name a few.
I consider myself lucky to be part of Darrow and encourage families to give our a school a look for themselves!
