Empowering Students for College and Beyond: The Darlington School Experience

At Darlington School in Rome, Georgia, we believe that education is about more than just preparing students for college—it’s about equipping them with the skills, confidence, and character to thrive in all aspects of life. Our Upper School program is designed to nurture the whole student, fostering intellectual growth, personal development, and a passion for lifelong learning.

A Holistic Approach to Education

Darlington’s philosophy centers on the idea that true success comes from a balance of intellectual, physical, and personal growth. We go beyond traditional academics to create an environment where students can explore their passions, develop leadership skills, and build a strong foundation for the future.

College Preparation with a Personal Touch

Our commitment to college readiness is evident in every aspect of our program. From a robust selection of Advanced Placement (AP) courses to personalized college counseling, we ensure that every student is well-prepared for the next step in their academic journey. Our college counseling team works closely with students and families to navigate the application process, helping each student find the college that best aligns with their goals and aspirations.

Senior Ventures: Turning Ideas into Impact

One of the hallmarks of a Darlington education is our Senior Ventures program. This year-long project empowers seniors to take the lead on initiatives that matter to them. Whether it’s launching a business, creating a community service project, or exploring a creative passion, students work with mentors to bring their ideas to life. Senior Ventures is more than just a project—it’s an opportunity for students to make a meaningful impact and develop skills that will serve them well beyond graduation.

iPeriod: Fueling Curiosity and Creativity

At Darlington, we believe that curiosity is the key to growth. Our iPeriod program gives students the freedom to explore their interests and discover new passions. From robotics and filmmaking to knitting and community outreach, iPeriod is a time for students to dive into what excites them most. It’s a chance to step outside the traditional curriculum and embrace the joy of learning for its own sake.

Advisory Program: A Support System for Success

High school is a time of growth, discovery, and new challenges. Our Advisory Program ensures that every student has the guidance and support they need to navigate this important stage of life. Advisors help students develop intellectually, manage their newfound independence, and take on responsibilities with confidence. It’s a partnership built on trust, encouragement, and a shared commitment to success.
