Linden Hall is an independent college-preparatory boarding and day school for girls grades 6–12. Founded in 1746, it is the oldest continuously operating school for girls in the United States. Linden Hall is a diverse, inclusive, and cooperative community where students grow into leaders without the complications of social competitiveness. Faculty and staff model lifelong learning, intellectual inquisitiveness, and a sense of fun; as a result, students at Linden Hall are empowered to embark upon new adventures, learn from their challenges; and excel in college and beyond. Small class sizes allow each student to receive individual attention from her teachers and to be assured that her strengths are recognized and her needs supported.
