Derby is well-established and well-recognized as a leader in
independent school education on the South Shore.
Our priority is a
well-balanced education and our approach is traditional.
Our small
class sizes allow us to personalize each student's education.
Teachers get to know their students well, not just in the classroom
but also as they engage in the arts, in athletics, and in a wide
range of activities where every child is encouraged and expected to
participate.
The faculty views each student as an individual with
special talents, interests, learning style, and developmental
needs.
Teachers strive to reinforce and recognize each child's
accomplishments and to help him or her learn from the total school
experience, both successes and disappointments.
