Derryfield students feel supported, loved, and cheered on. They also know they have teachers at-the-ready to help them troubleshoot and move forward when they get stuck.
Derryfield is a school where every child is known and cared for, where the academic and co-curricular programs inspire and prepare students for college and beyond, where the character of our students is as important as their academic achievement, and where as a result every member of this community grows and thrives.
The Derryfield School does a good job of “seeing” the whole student, and frankly, the whole family.
