 Thank you for taking the time to explore our website and learn about Linden Hill School, a national leader in the education of middle school age boys with language-based learning differences. Whether you are a first time visitor or a longtime member of our community, we hope you will find the information within this site interesting and useful.
The Linden Hill experience is one, to use a sailing metaphor, which protects our boys from the heavy ocean winds that they are unequipped to handle in mainstream schools or adjunct support programs. Linden Hill allows each boy the luxury of being in our protective cove, where he can safely mend his sails and relearn navigation and sailing skills in an environment that is most conducive to his mastery of these important fundamentals. Having shored up the critical foundations of learning, which include a strong sense of understanding his own strengths and weaknesses, our Linden Hill boy returns to the winds of secondary school confident in his skills and adept at effectively navigating the roughest of seas!
Stay in touch,
James A. McDaniel, Headmaster

Linden Hill Celebrates Martin Luther King Jr. Day |
|
This week, Linden Hill honored Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as the great African-American clergyman, orator and leader of the civil rights movement. The community discussed King's life long work for freedom and social justice for all Americans through nonviolence and civil disobedience, as well as the origins of the national holiday. In addition to screening original clips from the famous August 28th, 1963 speech of "I had a Dream," the school also played a powerful rendition from a former student on poetry night. In a special assembly, students watched a portion of the award winning documentary "Eyes on the Prize," which focused on the struggle to de-segregate schools in the south. Afterward, several faculty members also shared their own childhood experiences and perspectives. In history class the following day, Mr. Loud and Mrs. Darling discussed in smaller groups the educational reforms in the civil rights movement and its relevance today. On Wednesday, nationally recognized storyteller Mokoto treated the boys to traditional Japanese poetry and a performance of folktales about empathy. In Friday's social pragmatics course, students will discuss the importance of fighting racism and all forms of discriminations as well as learning about the universal value of compassion. |

Even though the boys just returned from the Thanksgiving Break, the campus is already abuzz with excitement surrounding the coming holidays. Students are practicing each morning for the annual production of " A Christmas Carol". Each boy has a role to play and faculty are working with students on line memorization and delivery. This curricular event is a community favorite. With the campus decorated both inside and out the boys are in the spirit. In the coming weeks there is a full calendar of events. The boys will be shopping for each other with their advisors, caroling at the local nursing home, making ornaments for the school tree, baking cookies, decorating gingerbread men and learning a bit more about all the holidays occurring during this festive wintertime.
From everyone at LHS-Happy Holidays! |
