Here at The Link School, we emphasize education in an environment that cultivates curiosity, self-directed learning, collaboration, resourcefulness, and problem solving.
Link students take on individual projects that excite and challenge them. With mentorship from an adult, our students broaden their knowledge, develop tangible skills, and set and meet goals. Link staff or others from the local community serve as mentors for our students.
Student projects have included:
- Building a writer’s cabin on campus
- Training for and competing in a marathon
- Writing and publishing a book of poetry
- Learning auto mechanics and repair
- Learning how to fly-fish
- Gaining a search and rescue certification
- Painting a mural
- Learning how to speak Arabic
“At the Link School, I have experienced a lot of individual development and growth, which came from overcoming challenges, embracing the beautiful nature on campus and on trips, and from countless interactions with people here. Whether the challenge was a difficult climb, many miles of biking, or academic, every single one has gotten me closer to the more mature, more loving and understanding, and mentally stronger person I am now. I am deeply grateful and privileged to have had this year full of learning at the Link School.”
