　　Darrow School: Hands-on Education for More Than 70 Years

　　Darrow School, an independent, co-ed, boarding and day school in New Lebanon, NY, offers a comprehensive college-preparatory curriculum with a range of courses in writing and literature, history, languages, mathematics, sciences, and the arts.

　　Strong critical thinking and writing skills are emphasized in all subject areas. Students learn within an atmosphere that supports the pursuit of intellectual curiosity, individual creativity, and the joy of learning.

　　The School has been recognized as a pioneer in the field of ands-on learning, and Darrow teachers use real-world topics and a dynamic approach to capture the imagination and make the subject matter come alive.

　　The beautiful mountainside campus is located on the site of the historic Mt. Lebanon Shaker Village, and Darrow continues to embrace the Shaker legacy of sustainability and stewardship.

　　An important feature of the academic program is its focus on environmental, social, and economic resources, and students discover the value of finding balance within one self, the community, and global society.
