Our son loves going to school on a daily basis. His teachers know his strengths and weaknesses and they continue to push him to grow daily. Linsly has provided him the opportunity to be a leader and try multiple extracurricular activities. The curriculum is challenging but the teachers and students are always around to help when needed. Our family loves the Linsly community and we are happy our son is surrounded by such a diverse community. We would recommend Linsly to any parent looking to prepare their child for the future or trying to find a home for their child academically and socially.

My experience at the Linsly School, was, in a few words, absolutely life-changing. It taught me so much about myself and how i had to learn to be independent, grow and mature for the first time by myself overseas. I've learned how to prioritize and time manage, and that is all with the help of the school teachers, other staff and the coaches I played under. I couldnt have picked a more fitting school for me in the world and i believe that Linsly school taught me many life lessons that i will carry into my future

When I decided in fifth grade that I wanted to come to the Linsly School, I couldn't have made a better decision. I am now a junior in high school and have been here since the fifth grade. I am a person that focuses on academics more than sports and Linsly has helped me to become more intelligent in and outside of the books. Being in a small school is nice; no matter where you turn there will almost always be a familiar face you can ask for help or to cheer you up on your bad days. I would highly recommend Linsly to anyone that likes this idea of school and the people there with you being like a second family, because that's how Linsly is.

Linsly is an incredible institution. Students are held accountable for their individual success not only because they are surrounded by resources, but also because at Linsly, learning responsibility is valued as high as academics - ensuring graduates succeed well beyond their graduation date.

My son will be graduating from Linsly May 2013. Linsly by far has been the best investment into his education. He has learned so much more than just academics; he has developed lifelong frienships, life skills and life lessons and has been exposed to so many diverse cultures. I'm so glad that I foun...
