  Education is different at Darlington. We believe the future has never been brighter. That the cure for cancer and the next Bob Dylan are laughing in our hallways. We believe modern education has become a heavy stone sitting on the lid of humanity’s potential. Curiosity and service, not just biology or AP Language, are the secret to greatness and goodness and selflessness and the solution to every problem that keeps grown-ups awake at night.

We are
