Darlington Stories

“On behalf of my grandchildern, I would like to express my gratitude for [your Summer Arts] Camp.  It was a wonderful experience for them and [my granddaughter] proclaimed the last day as ‘the best day of my life!’  She loved being Glinda, the Good Witch [in their end-of-camp 'informance']!  Thank you so very much.”
Judy Singer

“Nine years have passed by since our family became involved with the Darlington Arts Center.  It continues to be one of the best decisions we have ever made for our family.  My daughter began taking the pre-twinkle violin class at the Center when it was located on Route 1 while we waited with great anticipation for the grand opening on Shavertown Road.  Since that time, our four children have all benefited from taking art classes and private music lessons over the years.  Our family and extended family have attended numerous recitals and celebrations at the Center.  We can not say enough about the high quality of teaching that the children have received from the very professional faculty.  The teachers and staff have become life long friends.  We will always be grateful for the opportunity that our family has experienced through our weekly lessons at Darlington”

“It is here one may start at any age and test the beauty of sound, the magic of notes, the telling of the spirit, the special gifts of color and form. The teaching at Darlington is a shared experience, and enrichment for those who seek its benefits.”
John Seaman Bainbridge, former student.

“I have been in the Chester Theater Arts Program for 6 years. I have learned many things that cannot be displayed on the stage at the semester’s closing. I have learned how to be a leader, setting a good example that others younger than me can follow. I have leaned how to discipline myself and I can focus on the task at hand and follow through until it is complete. I also learned how to let my creativity shine through in anything that I do.”
Zaakiyah Brown, 16 year old student from the Chester Theater Arts Program.

“As a homeschooling parent, I was thrilled to have Darlington Arts Center open its doors to our community in 2002. My children have taken numerous art classes as well as music classes. I feel they have received quality instruction in those areas and look forward to more offerings for homeschoolers.”
