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.

Who's your favorite teacher and why?
Mrs. Everhart - she’s not really a teacher but she’s faculty and she’s like a second mom to me. She’s always proud of my accomplishments and she is a great person to talk to.

The boarding aspect because it’s like a different little world outside of the day students. You make different connections and meet new people from all around and make unforgettable friendships.
Describe an experience that you've had at Darlington that you couldn't have had anywhere else.
RUMPUS - for me, RUMPUS is not something you could experience at any school. It’s hard to explain to other people. It’s something you have to experience, but it’s so fun and it’s an incredible experience.

I’m more independent.
