Linden Hill School, established in 1961 and located in Northfield, MA, is the country’s oldest junior boarding school for boys with language-based learning differences and attention issues. The school’s mission is to narrow the gap between poor performance and high potential. The program is designed to address the academic, social, emotional, and athletic needs of 9 to 16 year old boys with average to superior intelligence who have dyslexia or other language-based learning differences, including attention deficit disorder. Additionally, Linden Hill works with boys who have a similar learning profile in their native language and are enrolled to study English as a second language. At Linden Hill, all boys are given the opportunity to be successful in a community of their peers who share an understanding of learning differences.
