Darrow School Hosts Open House

January 14, 2011 By eastwickpress

Darrow School, an independent, college preparatory boarding and day school in New Lebanon, will host an Open House on Monday, January 17, from 10 am to 2:30 pm. The event includes a full information session, an in-depth discussion with faculty, lunch with students and faculty, a Q&A with current students and tours of Darrow’s historic Shaker campus.
This year, Open House participants are invited to get a taste of the Darrow experience by attending a class in writing and literature and a demonstration of the School’s Living Machine, a cutting edge, all natural wastewater treatment facility. During the campus tours, guests can view student exhibits in Darrow’s state of the art, 12,000 square foot Joline Arts Center and can visit the School’s Samson Environmental Center, an example of green building technology that has been chosen for seven consecutive years as a stop on the Northeast Sustainable Energy Association’s National Solar Tour. Visitors will also learn about Darrow’s innovative sustainability program, which is incorporated across the curriculum and about the School’s tutorial program, which offers customized, one on one academic and skills based tutoring.
To register for the Open House, send an email to admission@darrowschool.org or use our online submission form at www.darrowschool.org/openhouse. For those who are unable to attend the Open House but would like to experience the Darrow community firsthand, the School welcomes visits throughout the year.
For more than 75 years, Darrow has offered to students in grades nine through twelve a comprehensive curriculum with a range of courses in writing and literature, history, languages, mathematics, sciences and the arts. Strong critical thinking and writing skills are emphasized in all subject areas. The National Association of Independent Schools recognized the excellence of the School’s Sustainability Program in February 2005 with a Leading Edge Honoree Award for curriculum innovation. A very low student to faculty ratio (4 to 1) allows for a high level of individual attention, and students learn within an atmosphere that supports the pursuit of intellectual curiosity, individual creativity and the joy of learning.
Darrow School is dedicated to serving students with diverse backgrounds and abilities. Students come from across the United States and several foreign countries and are offered a wide range of opportunities in athletics, extracurricular work and residential life. Darrow graduates have been accepted at such colleges and universities as American University, Amherst College, Brandeis University, Boston University, The Cooper Union, Cornell University, Goucher College, Hampshire College, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Johns Hopkins University, New York University, Northeastern University, Pratt Institute, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Rhode Island School of Design, Smith College, St. Lawrence University, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Simmons College, Syracuse University, Union College, University of Massachusetts and Vassar College.
