The Darien Public Schools recognizes the diverse needs of all students through the differentiation of a robust and rigorous curriculum that is engaging, meaningful, creative and cognitively complex. Differentiation and choice exist within the general education program to serve all students within the social, emotional and learning spectrums.

The Idea Program offers distinct opportunities for students in grades two through nine based on their unique learning pathways through rigorous, enriching, interdisciplinary programming through the domains of English Language Arts and Mathematics.
