The Linsly School
The Linsly Co-ed Boarding School Information:
The Linsly School offers a traditional college preparatory program where academic excellence and character development are emphasized in every facet of student life.
Philosophy
Students are selected based on their willingness to engage completely in a school community built upon a challenging academic program that seeks to realize each student’s potential. While Linsly day students reside in the greater Wheeling area, resident students are drawn from throughout West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and beyond.
Linsly students develop in a fair, consistent, and stable environment that promotes extensive, formative interaction with teachers. By modeling Linsly’s core values of hard work, respect, perseverance, and honesty, Linsly faculty members serve as role models and mentors in every facet of school life.
Preparation for Life and Our "No Quit" Policy
When Linsly's senior class walks in their caps and gowns, they are not only prepared for college, but also prepared for life. With 100% college placement, Linsly's record as an excellent college preparatory school speaks for itself. Each year, our graduates are accepted into some of the most prestigious colleges in the world.
At Linsly, we also understand that there is something more to education than test scores and college acceptance letters. Every day, our students live many of life's most important principles: responsibility, commitment, time management, sportsmanship, maturity, and even disappointment.
Our "no quit" policy teaches students to finish what they start and to follow through with their commitments.
We refer to "thickness of learning" as Linsly's integrated and diverse college preparatory curriculum that exposes our students to subject matter from many different perspectives in a culturally diverse atmosphere. The education a student earns at Linsly is both deep and lasting because life's lessons continually emerge. The Linsly experience fosters life-long learning that will prepare students for college and life.
Our School Theme:
"Great Works are Performed by Perseverance"
