1. Academics
Overview
The Linden Hill academic program incorporates various methods to assist students in acquiring
necessary skills for secondary school and beyond. However, at the heart of this pedagogy is the
Orton-Gillingham method. The School, being ungraded, facilitates students’ placement in classes
based on similar academic needs rather than by age alone. The curriculum, aligned to the state
frameworks, allows students to progress at their own pace. The School has a pending application with
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to be considered as a state approved, Chapter 766, private
school.
Small teacher-to-student ratios and a physical classroom that places teacher and student face to face
provide structure and a small, specific feedback loop. This environment promotes an intimate student
teacher relationship. Use of a multi-sensory approach presents multiple opportunities for each boy to
receive information in a manner that complements his own learning style. All students receive time to
process and approach work differently as well as the tools to support their specific academic needs.
For many new students at Linden Hill, this classroom is the first where they can feel appreciated and
respected by their teachers. At Linden Hill there is no accommodating; only teaching.
