Our Link School community is powered by our staff and guided by our board. Working together, we create a dynamic, thriving ecosystem for our students to challenge themselves, grow as learners, and strengthen their connection to the Divine.
Each staff member plays a crucial role, from teaching chemistry to planning an expedition. Our staff are devoted Christian Scientists who model spiritual living and support our students in deepening their relationship to God.
“I am really grateful for all the staff members here. It’s not easy teaching someone that thinks about fishing all the time and daydreams about it in class, however I learned a lot and I will never forget all the things that you have done for me and how important you all are in my life.”

“Teaching at Link has been a highlight of my long career. I deeply enjoyed the challenge of meeting the needs of several levels of students and celebrated the healings of academic limitations I witnessed over the years. Link certainly lives up to its purpose!”
Bill, Staff member

“Serving on The Link School Board of Directors has been an integral intersection of things I value…experiential education, community building, and spiritual visioning. Working with colleagues, staff, and students to facilitate personal development and academic progress couldn’t be more purposeful than at Link. Trips to campus under the Collegiate Peaks are a bonus.”
