From The Head

Thank you for visiting Lincoln School's home on the World Wide Web. Whether you are a current parent coming for day-to-day information, a student visiting a teacher's web page, an alumna seeking information of events and former classmates, or a prospective family exploring the possibility of admission, we trust you will find the information you are looking for.

We believe that an exemplary school is a place where each student has every opportunity to maximize her potential, where every teacher looks for the best in each student, and where the culture is built upon compassion and respect for the worth of every individual.

In our classrooms and in every venue at Lincoln, we experience an enhanced intellectual, emotional and physical "presence" on the part of our girls. This is so because all that our girls are doing - exploring plate tectonics, scoring a goal, interpreting a poem, debating a school or international issue, or learning new music - they are doing on their own terms. Girls learn in unique ways that only an all-girls' environment can nurture.

Our Quaker heritage provides each Lincoln girl with a foundation for self-reflection, commitment to service beyond self, and an awareness and celebration of that which is distinctive in others. Built upon that foundation is the conviction that girls - all girls - deserve the very best a school has to offer.
