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.

Describe an experience that you've had at Darlington that you couldn't have had anywhere else.
I think my experience living in a dorm is something I couldn't have had anywhere else.
What are some of the ways you've grown since you first came to Darlington?
On top of being prepared academically, I feel even more prepared for college because of my experience in the dorms. Because I have lived in the dorms for almost three years, I have learned to be a lot more independent.
Where do you want to go to college and what is your dream job?
I haven't decided where I want to go yet but I hope to end up in either Boston or D.C., and my dream job is to be a pediatric surgeon.
