Darlington School is an American private, coeducational, college-preparatory day and boarding school in Rome, Georgia. The school serves students from pre-kindergarten to grade 12, divided into a lower, middle and upper school. Students come from 38 national backgrounds.. The headmaster is Brent Bell and the head of the Upper School is Matthew Peer.[4][5]

Founded in 1905 by local residents John Paul and Alice (Allgood) Cooper, Darlington School was named by former students in honor of a local teacher. Joseph James Darlington taught at the local J. M. Proctor School for Boys in Rome. The school originally used Thornwood House and its associated property; the campus has developed around this building.

Darlington School uses an English public school-style House system in the upper school. Each house is led by a Head of House faculty member and a Resident and Day Student prefect. Boys houses include Summerbell (Freshman), Moser, and Neville. Girls houses include Cooper (Freshman), Regester, and Thornwood.

The school participates in Greater Opportunities for Access to Learning (GOAL), a Georgia program which offers a state income tax credit to donors of scholarships to private schools.[6]
