Real-World Readiness or Our Impact
From the classrooms to the broader world, Linden students and alumnae embody confidence, compassion, and conviction.
Whether presenting at conferences, shaping inclusive policy, or pursuing bold academic paths, their journeys reflect the power of an education rooted in justice, voice, and belonging.
University Success
Prepared to Thrive, Equipped to Lead
Linden graduates enter post-secondary life with confidence, curiosity, and a strong sense of purpose. They are known by name in lectures and seminars, and they stand out for their research skills, self-advocacy, and community-minded leadership.
Our graduates are accepted to top programs in Canada, the U.S., and abroad—and more importantly, they arrive ready to succeed.

“In a class of 700, the professor knew my name. That confidence came from Linden.”
Global Engagement
Awareness, Empathy, Action
At Linden, global readiness is built into everything we do. Students explore the world through the lens of justice, equity, and sustainability—developing insight and agency along the way.
Each year, students:
- Participate in Model UN
- Present at national conferences
- Write op-eds on global issues
- Connect with local policymakers
- Collaborate with international youth networks
These experiences prepare students not just to enter the world, but to shape it.
Passion Projects & Civic Leadership
Learning That Creates Change
Linden students learn by doing—and by leading. From their earliest years, they take initiative, pursue original ideas, and make meaningful contributions to the world around them.
By the time students reach Grade 12, they embark on senior passion projects with the support of mentors, community leaders, and faculty. Past projects include:
- Publishing graphic novels
- Developing educational apps
- Producing documentaries
- Designing community campaigns
- Leading workshops on mental health and climate justice
Linden students organize assemblies, run clubs, meet with elected officials, and speak at advocacy forums. These aren’t extracurriculars—they’re core to how we learn.
Graduation at Linden
A Celebration That Centres Every Voice
At Linden, graduation is more than a ceremony—it’s a reflection of who each student has become. Our “Celebration to Greet the Summer” honours every graduate equally, without a valedictorian, because we believe every voice matters. Each student delivers a personal speech that captures their unique journey, valuable insights, and aspirations for the future.
This unique tradition is a powerful expression of Linden’s mission. It affirms our commitment to student voice, recognizes the diverse paths our graduates have taken, and celebrates the relationships that shaped their growth. Families, friends, and faculty gather not to watch students cross a stage, but to listen, witness, and honour their stories.
Graduation at Linden is a joyful, moving, and unforgettable experience. It reminds us all that education is not just about achievement—it’s about becoming.
