School Mission Statement
Linden Hill School was founded by George and Penny Hayes in 1961 to provide a nurturing family-like atmosphere in which the Orton-Gillingham phonics approach could be implemented for the remediation of boys with dyslexia. Linden Hill School enrolls bright, inquisitive, boys who have language based disorders and/or dyslexia. The academic school year program exclusively accepts boys between 9 and 15 years old.
School Background
Linden Hill School, established in 1961 and located in Northfield, MA, is the country’s oldest junior boarding school for boys with language-based learning differences. The school’s mission is to narrow the gap between poor performance and high potential. Our goal is to help boys make the most of their capabilities and thus enable them to succeed not only in school, but in life. The program is designed to address the academic, social, emotional, and athletic needs of 9 to 16 year old boys with average to superior intelligence who have dyslexia or other language-based learning differences. Additionally, boys who wish to learn English as a second language find our program ideally suited to mastering reading, writing, and speaking in English.
