Visit Campus
The best way to learn more about Derby is to visit!
Our beautiful 27-acre campus overlooking Broad Cove in Hingham is a place where young minds are cultivated and character flourishes. Just 10 miles from Boston, our “learning village” is composed of 14 buildings that support our academic programs and offerings in the arts, athletics, and STEM, making us the best choice for a Pre-K to Grade 8 independent school education on the South Shore. Take a tour of our campus, explore our classrooms, and discover how we live our motto, Improve Both Mind and Heart.
What to Expect on a Tour
Tours of the school run for approximately one hour and are scheduled during school days. Families have the opportunity to view our facilities, ask questions, and observe student/teacher interactions in the classrooms to see for themselves what distinguishes a Derby education.
