Derby Academy is an independent, co-educational day school in the primary and secondary education sector, serving students from Pre-K through Grade 8 in Hingham, Massachusetts, and tracing its founding to 1784. The school pursues holistic development by fostering intellectual growth, building learning skills, and supporting the emotional and physical well-being of its students. It also seeks to cultivate personal responsibility and ethical contributions within an increasingly interconnected world. In late 2017, Derby Academy launched the Call to Service initiative, a program aimed at encouraging acts of compassion and volunteerism among students and in the surrounding community. The institution operates as a local independent school and engages with the community through initiatives such as its service program, serving families seeking a Pre-K to 8 education in a community-focused environment.
