What makes The Linden School unique?
Linden is the only school in Canada that
was specifically created to incorporate cutting-edge research
on girls' learning style and educational needs, particularly
during adolescence and key development stages. Linden's founders
and teachers have utilized this research to establish a unique
curriculum and environment which reflects the latest and most
credible information on how girls learn best.
Linden does not overlook the fundamentals
that comprise the core curriculum in other schools. Far from
it. While complying with all Ministry of Education requirements,
Linden offers a more ambitious and comprehensive programme.
On top of the basics, it delivers a highly-enriched, academically-challenging
programme that engages girls to become active participants
in their own learning. Linden's approach to learning applies
not just to specific classroom subjects, but to everything
that happens at the school. This not only includes reading
and writing, math and science, art and language, but also
co-curricular activities, and relationships between younger
and older girls who become their mentors and role models.
In academic scope, the schools that Linden
seems to have most in common with are the "seven sister
colleges" in New England and St. Hilda's College at Oxford.
