Getting ready for the fall term!

Linden faculty and students have gone full-steam ahead with our fall learning program while maintaining health and safety protocols. Our program continues to place emphasis on academic excellence while nurturing social skills and fostering health and fitness. Here is a sampling of what's been keeping us busy this fall, including our innovative outdoor education program!
