School Notes
We`re the oldest private girls` boarding school in
America.In fact, we pre-date America as a nation, which seems
fitting for an international school. We`re nestled in an ideal part
of the East Coast close to New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
and our nation`s capital of Washington, D.C. - a location uniquely
convenient for both day and boarding students.
There`s also plenty to do right outside our front door, as
we`re in the heart of the "Coolest Small Town in America." Lititz,
Pennsylvania, offers cozy cafs, world-class candy shops, gourmet
restaurants, several parks, an abundance of fascinating history,
and so much more. Our students always find fun and exciting new
places to explore in town with their friends!
At Linden Hall, we`re curious, passionate, and engaged.
Students love to collaborate, grapple with big ideas, innovate to
make our world better, and have FUN.They embrace a variety of
interests that inspire them to explore the arts, sports, STEM, or
riding - some of them at world-class levels!
We`re innovative, friendly, brilliant, and enthusiastically
authentic. We`re also a top-choice school that helps our students
get into some of the best colleges and universities in the
world.
A wise student once said, "The `typical` Linden Hall student is
gloriously atypical." There is no best type of student for Linden
Hall. Instead, our girls join a student body that is a diverse
blend of boarding students from afar and day students from nearby,
artists and entrepreneurs, dreamers and builders, top athletes and
inspiring artists, rocket builders and international travelers,
and, of course, best friends.
You`re a great fit for Linden Hall if you like to challenge
yourself, if you`re curious and open-minded, and if you enjoy
engaging in a diverse environment. You`ll thrive here if you want
to find your passions, expand your leadership skills, and graduate
equipped to excel in college and beyond. We want to help you do
those things, and more.
Why all girls? It`s a question we hear all the time! The data
are crystal-clear: girls who attend an all-girls school surpass
their peers attending co-ed schools in many areas, including STEM
education, career attainment, leadership development, cultural
competency, and civic engagement.
Students accomplish so much by building their skills in a safe
environment that encourages bold academic choices, self-evaluation,
personal growth, cultural competency, and critical and creative
thinking.
Role models and social norms matter, especially for girls in
middle and high school. Additionally, growing in a place where
girls take center stage instead of a back seat opens a world of
opportunities for young women.Our graduates are bound for
greatness and poised to be leaders in their communities.But

alumnae to hear how Linden Hall changed their lives!

My daughter has been attending for almost 2 years now. This school is wonderful! I love every teacher, and all the staff., and our Head of School is a gift to LH and our daughter. They all believe in your student and help them reach their highest potential. They interact with the students in an intelligent way. The workload is rigorous but students have full support to reach their goals. Students are mature, well-spoken, and highly involved in activities. The environment is peaceful. The students respect and care for each other across all grades.

My daughter started at Linden Hall in 6th grade and graduated 2 years ago. It was an amazing experience for her. She took advanced classes that weren't even offered at her public school. The teachers were well supportive, knowledgeable, and caring. I do not feel that my daughter would have had the same great experience at any other local school.
