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.

I have learned to manage my emotions and truly understand what it means to “love yourself.” I have recognized my own worth, the kind of life I truly want, and how to achieve it.
