As a Linden Hall student, you will benefit from a rich academic and social life. You can choose from many co-curricular activities including athletics, arts, performance, social responsibility, environmental concerns, and more. The many clubs and weekend activities provide outlets to express your personal interests and the open, leadership-focused environment encourages the introduction of a new pastime or even the development of a new organization. Dances and activities provide opportunity to interact with the opposite sex (yes, we do see boys!) and to broaden the student life experience.
Take a look at this small sample of current campus organizations:
Cartoon Guild: As a part of the student newspaper, The Ledger, students create political and satirical cartoons for school publication.
Global Community Council: Students from around the world share their cultures with all students. The council arranges cultural activities as well as supports current programs at the school.
The Ledger: The Ledger is the student newspaper. Students usually publish monthly and meet weekly; there are opportunities for students to engage as reporters, columnists, photographers, editors, and cartoonists. There is also a Middle School page for younger writers.
Math Counts: AMC 8, 10, and 12: Linden Hall students may participate in math competitions sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America and are chosen based on their age and math ability. Middle School girls are presented materials as part of their curriculum, and Upper School girls have a Math Club during which time they prepare for the competition. If a girl performs well in these competitions, she will move on and participate in advanced competitions.
Model UN: The Model UN is open to all upper school students and meets at least weekly to discuss modern political and diplomatic events and issues. Based on their research, presentations, and debates, students from the club will be selected for a LH Model UN delegation for a spring competition.
Peer Editing and English Tutoring Program: Teachers recommend students for this group based on their class work and other factors. The students offer weekly grammar and usage tutoring sessions and edit draft papers for their peers on a weekly basis.
Website Design Club: Students have the opportunity to learn about and practice web design as they create a student centered website for the school.
