My experience at the Linsly School, was, in a few words, absolutely life-changing. It taught me so much about myself and how i had to learn to be independent, grow and mature for the first time by myself overseas. I've learned how to prioritize and time manage, and that is all with the help of the school teachers, other staff and the coaches I played under. I couldnt have picked a more fitting school for me in the world and i believe that Linsly school taught me many life lessons that i will carry into my future

The facilities were good and well maintained. All of the teachers were certified and knowledgeable about the subject they were teaching. Most teachers were also very dedicated to see the students grow and be successful. the maintenance people were mostly on top of things and were friendly. the classes weren't extremely long and they provided us with good study break periods. The food was also top notch. Its only a little small.

The arts at Linsly need more attention. Over the past couple of years, the hiring hasn't been the best either, since I have had a plethora of teachers come and go. Overall my experience has been good, I haven't had too many run-ins other than the staffing isn't what it used to be.

Linsly is an incredible institution. Students are held accountable for their individual success not only because they are surrounded by resources, but also because at Linsly, learning responsibility is valued as high as academics - ensuring graduates succeed well beyond their graduation date.

My son will be graduating from Linsly May 2013. Linsly by far has been the best investment into his education. He has learned so much more than just academics; he has developed lifelong frienships, life skills and life lessons and has been exposed to so many diverse cultures. I'm so glad that I foun...
