A Darlington student is made up of many things. None of which is average. We help our students develop their interests, passions and pursuits, because we believe every individual has something to contribute. We also believe that only when you're 100% you, are you 100% Darlington. 

Here at Darlington, every student’s path is different. We think that's a good thing. 

Let’s get to know Isla McLaughlin, a four-year boarding student from the Cayman Islands whose Senior Ventures project focuses on providing exercise classes for faculty and students.
