Darrington Academy

Darrington Academy is located on the outskirts of Blue Ridge, Georgia. Set in the southern most area of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this quaint little town, located just over an hour north of Atlanta, provides the perfect setting for students to develop academically as well as in character. The climate provides an opportunity for students to experience all the seasons without getting too hot in the summer or too cold in the winter, while the surrounding mountains offer a multitude of year round opportunities for outdoor activities.

Darrington Academy provides a structured environment with extensive supervision to a
select group of students who need this type of guidance to progress academically and personally.

We employ a well educated and qualified staff to aid your student during their stay at Darrington Academy. These exceptional team members will allow Darrington Academy to offer a number of extracurricular activities not found in other schools. These activities, along with rigorous academic curriculum, will provide students with the experiences necessary to gain acceptance in today’s colleges and universities.

The academic needs of our students are met through the use of the latest computer assisted learning programs. This curriculum provides the same content and rigor found in a standard classroom, without
many of the distractions, and may be modified to each student’s specific needs. Each student works at an individual pace; quickly in courses they are good at, slowly through those with which they
may struggle. The program is also very well suited to the needs of students with attention deficit

disorders, because it uses a variety of media sources to present new information. Because the computers do most of the grading and record keeping, our exceptional teachers and teaching assistants are able to spend the majority of their class time engaged in teaching individual students.

Darrington Academy uses success in the classroom as a spring board for developing personal confidence and leadership skills. Students also participate in character building courses, workshops and seminars to enhance their academic and personal success.
