At Linden we refer to ourselves as a community
of learners. Learning outside the classroom includes whole
school activities, during which students collaborate to share
ideas and participate in various activities, presentations
and dramatizations.
All school activities take place each Friday
morning. Linden students are grouped into "Families"
which are comprised of multi-age groups drawn from all grades
in the school in order to foster supportive relationships
across the grade levels. Younger students benefit from the
leadership and modelling of older students, and older students
are able to realize how capable and competent they are in
taking on leadership roles, as well as demonstrating understanding
and patience in working with younger ones. Each family has
the opportunity to lead an activity for the rest of the school.
