About Darvell School
Bruderhof Schools are dedicated to the central principle that every child is a thought of God. Education is the art of nurturing the innate divine spark within each child and helping him or her to become the person God intends. We seek to provide each child with a happy and constructive childhood in which they develop their capacity to love by caring for and serving others.
Bruderhof Schools are an integral part of their communities. All students and staff participate in the religious life of the community, especially during religious festivals such as Advent, Christmas, and Easter.
Our approach in the Kindergarten and early years emphasizes the importance of learning through play (influenced by the writings of German educator Friedrich Fröbel).
