TraditionsSituated in the pristine rolling hills of New England, Linden Hill is marked with deeply rooted traditions. From the original structures of the farm house and dairy, our school has remained committed to the original philosophy and values of our founders, George and Penny Hayes. They searched for a location that could create a school, which is intimate, safe, and open for the boys to grow in character and as students. For nearly fifty years, Linden Hill has collected traditions from dress code philosophy of work and play clothes, the family style sit-down dining tradition, Christmas caroling, the Pinewood Derby, and Prize Day. Behind the traditions are the stories that make us special. |
“There was, for instance, Determination Rock, that large boulder in the front yard with a tablet announcing its special historic role to each visitor to the school. The boys demanded that this rock be placed there. They had dug it out with their own strength and unity of purpose, from the bed of the first fire pond. It seemed a fitting symbol of determination and pluck. “
- George Hayes, School Founder
