NEW LEBANON, N.Y. — Darrow School is celebrating the start of its 83rd school year on Tuesday, Sept. 2, by welcoming 110 students to its mountainside campus.
According to Betsy Strickler, director of admission, 80 percent of the students are boarders and 20 percent are day students.
The school is welcoming its largest ninth-grade class in years, with 20 individuals. They come from states including Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Vermont. Approximately 28 percent are international students representing nine countries — the Bahamas, China, Jamaica, Japan, Ghana, Nigeria, Russia, Taiwan and Turkey.
"Not only is this a diverse group of students with a wide spectrum of interests, talents, and abilities, this group is also incredibly strong academically," Strickler said. "There are some remarkably talented individuals joining us this year. The faculty is excited about helping these scholars reach their maximum potential."
