At Darlington, we believe students flourish when home and school work hand in hand. Toddle helps strengthen that partnership by keeping parents connected to classroom learning, making it easier to stay engaged, celebrate progress, and walk alongside us in each child’s journey.

There’s nothing quite like the excitement of a new school year, and in the fine arts at Darlington, that excitement comes alive through music, theater, visual arts, and storytelling. From our youngest pre-K artists to our graduating seniors, students will spend the year discovering new talents, designing creative projects, and delighting audiences with their work.
At Darlington, the faculty are embracing a theme across Pre-K to 8 this year that reflects the spirit of the school year: “Get Your Kicks in 25-26.” It’s a simple image, but one that speaks volumes. A road trip is about movement, milestones, maps and memories. It is about being intentional with where we are going and flexible when the route changes. Most of all, it’s about the people in the car with you and the stories you will tell when the journey is over.
The first two weeks of school have been full of energy and excitement. As I walk through the halls, it is encouraging to see students catching up after a summer away and also meeting new peers from around the world. Thank you for helping set a positive tone at home and for trusting us with your children – it makes a big difference as we begin this school year together.
There’s a Spanish saying that goes, "El que se fue a Sevilla, perdió su silla," meaning "He who left for Seville, lost his chair." But after spending two weeks in Seville this summer for cultural enrichment and the College Board AP Spanish Teacher Workshop, I can assure you that no one loses their seat there—on the contrary, the city is full of chairs waiting for you to enjoy a café con leche on a hot summer day, share tapas with Serrano ham or listen to flamenco near La Giralda.
Darlington is hosting its annual College Fair in the Huffman Athletic Center on Monday, Aug. 25. Learn more about this amazing opportunity for students to connect with over 100 colleges and universities in this blog by Assistant Director of the Upper School and College Adviser Brant Evans.
Over the past two summers, I have had the privilege of attending a number of conferences and clinics led by incredibly talented and successful band directors, professional conductors, composers, authors, and thought leaders in the worlds of band and music education.
It is with great sadness that I share the news of the passing of 1996 Distinguished Alumnus and dedicated community member Tom Cousins (’48) on July 29. He was a true embodiment of Darlington's values and led his life like Darlington’s motto service beyond self by upholding an unwavering commitment to the Atlanta community.
