Portrait of a Graduate
Linden Waldorf School’s graduates boast a myriad of impressive and colorful success stories. Linden alumni have graduated from over thirty high schools in Nashville and beyond, including the most prestigious secondary schools in the area. Over 90% of Linden alumni are accepted at their first choice of high schools.
Local high school admissions directors have described Linden Waldorf students as inquisitive, engaged, self-assured, and intelligent classmates. Linden graduates stand out from their peers, and their continuing success is evident in stories from Linden’s fourteen graduating classes, some of which are highlighted in the gallery below.
Andrew, Class of 2012
“Unlike many other schools that could have squashed my curiosity for science and math early on with excessive homework and tedious lectures, Linden allowed me to discover what made me happy at my own pace, and build it into something that I could carry with me into adulthood.”
Emma, Class of 2010
“Without Linden’s foundational concept of self, values, and experiences, I doubt I would have strived to grow and explore in the way I have.”
Shaan, Class of 2011
“I was totally academically prepared for high school and felt that I had an advantage. I had fresh eyes with which to approach things and this kind of creativity instilled in me from my time at Linden allowed me to stand out.”
Kate, Class of 2017
“Linden is where I made amazing friends, and it was a safe space for me to grow in. Everyone in the community supported everyone else, which led me to take on things outside of my comfort zone.”
Eliana, Class of 2020
“My Linden experience brought me all my closest friends, passions, and talents. My education has put me either ahead or at-level in all my academic and artistic classes at USN and has given me a love for school and learning that I’m sure will carry on throughout my life.”
