For What it's Worth...
Headmaster > by Tom Whitworth, Friday, 2/26/2010
In thinking about your schooling decision for next year, you are no doubt weighing in your mind the value of a Darlington education. I have spent the past couple of weeks doing the same thing – digging deep to put my finger on what really constitutes “value added” here at Darlington.
The NOOK Has Arrived

Exciting new technology in the library helps students find the books they are looking for faster than ever.
The Semester System
Headmaster > by Tom Whitworth, Wednesday, 2/10/2010
As we continue to build Darlington’s academic program PK-12, we have made the decision to move to a semester-based schedule in 2010-11. This is becoming the norm at college-prep schools across the nation, but that’s not the reason we are making the change. A great deal of research and many thoughtful discussions have made it clear that this truly is the best decision for Darlington, and I am confident that a semester system will best prepare our students for the experiences they will have in college.

We have planned an exciting weekend Feb. 19-21 to showcase our students and programs to all of our wonderful parents, and we hope you will be able to join us! This is the first year that Parents Weekend will be open to ALL families, pre-K to 12, and I think you will be pleased with the diversity of the events we have selected to give you a taste of the Darlington experience.

I want to let all of you know that longtime faculty members Sally Rudert and Elaine Smith have shared their plans to retire at the end of the school year. While it is always sad to see our colleagues go, especially those who have dedicated so much of their lives to this wonderful place, Sally and Elaine have expressed that they are anticipating the next phase of their lives with great enthusiasm.
