College Counseling 


Our goal in College Counseling is to guide students in thinking creatively about what college is and what it should be for them. The journey to college requires increasing self-awareness and confidence, and we will partner with your student and family through every step of the process. As we get to know your student, we gain critical insight about their learning style and the type of environment in which they will thrive and succeed intellectually, academically and personally. 

This is really a four-year collaboration and includes identifying what your student wants from their college experience; defining a list of desirable schools; brainstorming and drafting college essays; meeting with college Admissions representatives on our campus or at the college/university itself; prioritizing and scheduling college visits; and proactively completing and submitting applications. We want your student to clearly understand the evolving mechanics of the application process itself, as well as trends and opportunities for merit-based and need-based financial aid.

DARROW SCHOOL PROFILE ADDENDUM
In March 2020, in concordance with NY State COVID 19 guidelines, our students departed for home. For the rest of the school year, we shifted to virtual learning, with synchronous and
asynchronous options. Students continued to receive traditional grades; however, a Pass/Fail option was added, and our class schedule was adjusted.

Our students returned to campus in September 2020 with an adjusted schedule and COVID testing regulations in place. We modified our academic schedule by making all courses semester-long, with full-credit core courses meeting twice as often per week as half-credit electives. Students were limited to a maximum of three one credit courses per semester. Class blocks alternated between in person and synchronous virtual classes. On each of our four academic days, a two-hour afternoon block was held for asynchronous course work and for Learning Skills Program sessions. Pass/Fail remained an option for students with particular hardships, but not many students took advantage of it.

To minimize exposure and travel, Darrow purposely created an extended time of virtual learning from late November 2020 through early February 2021. Spring of 2021 brought students back to campus, resuming the aforementioned adjusted schedule. Currently, for the 2021-2022 academic year, we are on campus with in-person learning, and have returned to a schedule similar to our pre-COVID long block schedule.
