Linden Hall School is a small girls’ independent, college-preparatory, resident and day school in Lititz, Pennsylvania. The school, founded in 1746 by members of the Moravian Church, is extremely proud of its extensive and honorable history and carries the distinction of being the oldest and now one of the finest girls’ boarding schools in the United States.

The Moravian ideals of education have been at the heart of Linden Hall since its founding.  Linden Hall, now a nonsectarian school, originally subscribed to the progressive Moravian philosophy that encompassed three fundamental principles: first, that all females be thoroughly educated to become whole, responsible citizens; second, that a student must develop a love of knowledge in order to reach her full potential; and third, that advanced pupils can be role models for younger students.  These principles have provided the tenets of the educational continuity that has allowed Linden Hall to stand on a firm foundation supporting the freedom to evolve into an institution compatible with contemporary times.
