Being a middle school for boys, the school teaches core subjects with emphasis on reading using the Orton-Gillingham method. The classes are generally ungraded allowing each boy to advance at his own pace in each core subject.
Facilities:
Linden Hill School is located in the scenic village of Northfield, Massachusetts.
Finances:
The Linden Hill School has a small endowment but nonetheless was able to award financial aid to 25% of its students. The average award was $10,000.
Commentary:
If you have identified that your primary school aged son has a language-based learning difference, the encouraging, nurturing approach offered by Linden Hill School is worth a closer look. The advantage of remediating learning disabilities at a young age is that it lays the foundation for positive learning experiences in adolescence and beyond.
