Application Process

We are delighted that you are considering Linden for your child. 

We recognize that your child’s education is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. At Linden, we believe education is a partnership; we accept not only individual children, but their families as well. Our admissions process is designed to get to know each applicant and family, as well as help you learn about every aspect of a Linden education. Once a child enrolls, we partner with the family until he or she graduates in eighth grade and beyond.

Our application process for the 2025-2026 school year is outlined in the steps below. Please note that applications received after January 6 will follow an adjusted timeline with a later decision date.

Apply: September 9 - January 6 | Assessment: October - February | Decision: March 1
