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.
Derby is well-established and well-recognized as a leader in
independent school education on the South Shore. Our motto,
"Improve Both Mind and Heart" says it all. Following the
PK-8th grade model, we focus on the critical foundational
years and build confidence in children as they expand their minds
and hearts to take on life both during and after their Derby
years. We truly believe that to prepare the global, productive
citizens that we all want our children to become, we must focus on
both the mind through academics, innovation and creativity and the
heart through service, kindness and character building. Our program
is age-specific and geared to develop all of these areas in each of
our students.
