Attending The Linden School was one of the worst experiences of my life. It has been over 10 years…read moresince I left, and I still carry trauma from my time there. Instead of being a place of growth and encouragement, the school created an atmosphere of fear, exclusion, and constant judgment. A teacher, Rory consistently singled me out in ways that felt unfair and humiliating. The leadership under the principal, Janice, only made things worse -- the administration fostered an environment that was punitive rather than supportive, and students like me were left feeling isolated and diminished. The impact of this experience has stayed with me long after, which says everything about the culture of this school. I would strongly warn families to reconsider before sending their children here.

She started at Linden in junior high school with average grades and a perception of herself as an average student who struggled in various subjects. She left Linden with top grades across all subjects and a perception of herself as someone who could do anything she set her mind to. She went on to attend the University of Toronto and graduated with an Honours Degree with Highest Distinction. I will always be grateful to the Linden School. This school had a profoundly positive impact on my daughter's life.

I am a student in grade 12 currently attending this school. The honest truth about this school is…read moreit is EXCELLENT for academics. You/your child will be attending one of the best schools academically in Toronto, but you/your child will have absolutely no social life. I came here from a very large public school and let me tell you my social life, now, is a crap shoot. There are no friend groups, and no one gets along well. Constant unnecessary drama and students do not get along well at all. Also prepare for your child to be spoiled for life because the clientele that can afford a $30,000 a year school are the wealthiest in Toronto. Lastly the school has no sports, school spirit, student life, and the "committees and clubs" are a joke. Nothing is taken seriously by the students except for academics, and the teachers and administration promote a miserable environment by only focusing on academics. If you want your child to be extremely bright but likely a nerd without a social life who spends his days at home either studying or playing video games then this is the school for you. If you want a well rounded happy child who balances his school and social life than this is definitely not the school for you. My personal opinion is to NOT send your child here.

When I came here many years ago, I have to say I wasn't as pleased with the school as I am today…read more The school over the last 10 years has really evolved and marked itself as a unique private school for girls. It's differentiated itself by establishing the IB diploma, which is by far superior to the OSSD that you would get at other schools. I wish I had that opportunity and always was jealous at my UCC counterparts that they had it. By nature of this diploma is forces the girls to become leaders in their own right. The discipline, application and thoughfulness required to complete the courses inherently help develop the mind to think a certain way, and require the girls to be motivated in a certain way. And there's something to be said about the type of people that the girls would befriend and their relationships in the future. Thinking of sending your daughter here? I would. But then there's the debate between public vs. private school and when is the right time.

The school belongs to a collection of high-level private schools, which include Upper Canada College. Students must always wear a school uniform, which includes pants, skirts, shorts, and sweat pants. The younger grades are in a separate building in the back. There is one building with the library, dance, music, and science. Grades 5 to 8 are in the two old buildings connected by the new part. Classes are limited to 18 students per class. The fees are $38K/y plus a one-time $9K registration fee. There are some small-size classes with a max of 10 students who need extra attention. As an example, grade 6 has 2 classes of 18 and one class of 10. The smaller-sized classes cost more. There is a medium-sized gym (half the size of a basketball court) with a stadium. There is a small-sized soccer field outside. On our school tour, I noticed 98%+ students are students of European descent. I didn't notice a single Asian student. The school is not wheelchair accessible. There are separate male/female washrooms. There is free and paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2024-074
