I knew I wanted to design my Senior Ventures project around one of my passions: government. What I did not know is that it would grow to encompass three of my passions and the three aspects of the Darlington motto: Wisdom more than Knowledge, Service beyond Self, Honor above Everything.

As we move through the spring months, many of our conversations keep coming back to the same ideas. Progress. Effort. Growth. Whether it is at the dinner table or in the car after practice, you are likely asking the same questions we are at school. How do we keep our children motivated? How do we support them without lowering the bar?
As we move into April, we have entered an exciting and meaningful time of the school year. Course registration for next year is now underway, and we encourage families to take time to thoughtfully review options and have conversations about goals and interests for the year ahead. Our team is available to help guide students through this process to ensure they are set up for success.

As your senior year at Darlington approaches, one of the most important — and often overwhelming — parts of the college journey begins: financial aid. Understanding how to pay for college can feel complicated, but with the right information and a clear timeline, families can make confident decisions and maximize opportunities for funding.

My Senior Ventures project, “The Creative Athlete,” focuses on expanding and integrating the fine arts and athletic groups at Darlington.
