2. Discovering passions with signature programmes
Linden Hall offers several signature programmes that allow girls to hone their unique interests and aspirations.
For those with a passion for equestrian pursuits, the campus boasts an on-site barn that houses 19 horses. A year-round competitive training schedule ensures that riders with varying aspirations and skill levels can find their niche at Linden Hall, whether they aim to compete internationally or simply deepen their bond with horses.
The school supports four competition teams that actively participate in Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA) shows. Moreover, the programme boasts a track record of producing National Champion IEA riders. Opportunities abound in dressage and jumping, making Linden Hall a destination for all types of equestrian enthusiasts.
Those who like to fly high can do so quite literally through the aviation programme. Indeed, students can earn their private pilot’s licence at a nearby local airport in partnership with Aero-Tech Services Incorporated (ATS). This course of study is known as “Ground School.”
In the aviation programme, students utilize an FAA-certified online curriculum to independently learn the basic principles of flight required to pass the FAA private pilot written exam — an endeavour that also fulfils a Linden Hall science credit. Whether they’re a hobbyist exploring new horizons or an aspiring aviation professional, the school’s aviation programme paves the way for students’ futures in the skies.

3. Exceptional college counselling leads to great outcomes

Class of 2023 alumnae now attend prestigious institutions such as the US Military Academy at West Point, Columbia University, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and Wellesley College.
