School Notes
At The Derryfield School, our vision is "Leading lives of passion
and purpose." Small enough for each student to be known and
appreciated, nimble enough to create individual pathways
in curricular and co-curricular programs. Derryfield
graduates leave here ready to succeed at the finest colleges and
universities. Most important, they become the best kind of
citizens: curious, confident, and committed to lives of passionate
engagement.
CORE VALUES -
AIM HIGH: Young people achieve their best in a culture of high
expectations and encouragement.
BALANCE: We offer inspiring academic, artistic, and athletic
opportunities, promoting the development of healthy habits of mind,
body, and spirit, and the skill to balance creative tension.
CARING: We are a community of individuals who care for one
another. We demonstrate this through kindness and nurturing
relationships among all members of the Derryfield family.
CHARACTER: We actively cultivate respect, integrity,
compassion, and perseverance in our community members.
COMMUNITY: We seek a diverse community defined and sustained by
close relationships, social interdependence, and service.
FAMILIES: We embrace the family's role in the life of our day
school, celebrating collaboration between home and school.
INDIVIDUALITY: We encourage young people to grow as unique
individuals through the discovery of new passions and a love for
learning, self-knowledge, critical inquiry, and reflection.
