Linden Hall
"Abby just found out her fall terms grades (from Smith College), and she earned a 3.86 GPA. She had three A's and two A-'s. She told me over the break that she thought Linden Hall had prepared her well." 
-- from a Linden Hall Parent of the Class of 2008

Why select an all-girls school?

The National Coalition of Girls' Schools has summarized the benefits to your daughter derived from a single-sex education. We also encourage you to listen to our parents about the benefits a Linden Hall education has given to their daughters.

Research shows: girls' school graduates have an edge

For the first time, educators have solid evidence of girls' schools' effectiveness. This week, UCLA's Graduate School of Education & Information Studies released the results of a well-documented, national study which shows the statistically significant edge girls' school graduates have over their coed peers. This peer-reviewed research disentangles the effects of single-sex education from confounding demographic influences. At a time when education is on the national agenda, UCLA's study will make a significant contribution to the discussion. Read the full press release here.

In the past, Linden Hall has closed its dorms over Thanksgiving, Spring Break, and Easter. In response to several requests to change this policy, Linden Hall will now provide room and board during those breaks for a fee of $100 per day. Students are not required to stay on campus during these breaks, but are welcome to stay in the dorms, should they choose this option.
