Linden Hall is a college preparatory school for 125 girls in grades 6-12 and PG. The school is located in the historic town of Lititz, Pa., an hour from Philadelphia and an hour and a half from Balitmore. The town is 7 miles north of Lancaster, Pa. and is serviced by bus, train and commercial airlines. Linden Hall was established in 1746 and has the honor of being the oldest girls' boarding school in continuous operation in the United States. Linden Hall's philosophy maintains attention towards the whole girl - intellectually, emotionally, physically, socially and spiritually. On weekdays the girls pursue rigorous academic schedules, electives, extracurricular activities and evening studies. Weekends are balanced with relaxation, socializing, weekend trips and activities. Teachers serve as dorm parents and chaperones for dorm life, as well as for dances and special recreation, and cultural outings. The teaching staff consists of 25 full time and 3 part time teachers. The student-teacher ratio is 5:1. Beside the teaching staff, there are 30 other caring staff members who are part of the administrative staff, the maintenance and housekeeping staff, the dining hall staff and the riding staff. They all take special interest in and a caring attitude for each girl who attends the school. The school is situated on 47 beautiful acres, two blocks from the town square of Lititz. The open, well-landscaped campus includes a modern 20-stall stable, indoor and outdoor riding areas, tennis courts, playing fields, and picnic areas. Indoor facilities include a new sports and fitness center with a dance studio and exercise room, a new arts center with a theatre, gallery, art classrooms, kiln room, photography classrooms and a darkroom. The school's physical plant includes new modern buildings mixed among historic structures. The dormitories are between the classroom buildings and the dining room. All rooms are equiped with computer and internet connections. Most rooms are doubles, except the for the Annex dormitory, which is an independent living dorm with single rooms for upper school students exhibiting good conduct and grades. Linden Hall is truly a home away from home with girls from all over the world who become close "sisters." - Profile last updated: 04/25/2008
