This is the best school our children and grandchildren have ever gone to. A challenge for the gifted student, but nurturing for those that need a little more.

I have been a teacher at Derby for over 12 years, after having worked in several different teaching venues across New England. Derby Academy exceeds all my wildest expectations both personally and professionally. The level of expertise and genuine caring for each child is at the highest level. Every man, woman and child is celebrated for their unique abilities and encouraged to learn beyond their comfort levels. Teachers are eager to collaborate with others and stretch their own professional goals. There is at the heart of Derby an atmosphere of sincerity and love which makes Derby much, much more than a school, but a family. I cannot believe that I can be a part of such a wonderful community that truly lives up to their motto to improve both mind and soul!

This school has met and exceeded all my expectations. My child is thriving here and we couldn't be happier. The teachers are truly dedicated to their students and they really go above and beyond for them. The small class size is amazing and the reason we placed our child here. We are excited to have our youngest be a part of this school next year. Thank you Derby!

I have one child enrolled at Derby and one child going there next year. I love derby and all the teachers that go along with it. I think one of the most special things that derby has is the sports program. For students in fourth and fifth grade, the class called 'sports' is one of the highlights of their day. They have it everyday, and learn the fundamentals of all sports. This prepares them for the inscholastic sports they will play in sixth grade on. I also love the campus! It provides a safe, friendly and open enviorment for anyone attending school!
