Lead Fearlessly and Authentically

My first impression stepping through the red doors at Lincoln had a profound impact on me. The sense of friendship and community was palpable. Students, faculty, and staff not only greeted me, they welcomed me and wanted to know me. Our interaction began with the understanding that we belong here and we matter. 

Today, when you visit Lincoln's Upper School, you will see students in their classrooms engaged with each other's ideas. You will hear voices that are not only supported by peers, but vital to the community. In the lounges you will witness joy and creativity shared across grade levels. In the hallways, you will feel the authentic relationships forged between students and faculty. 

At a school that is for girls' education and rooted in Quaker values, you will experience firsthand what it means to be seen, valued, challenged, and nurtured. Our community is intentionally small and close-knit with an academic and extracurricular programming that is extensive and vast. From personalized academic schedules, to impactful global programming, to unmatched opportunities in STEAM, athletics, and the arts, Lincoln's Upper School is the place to dive deep into your known interests and push yourself out of your comfort zone by taking classes you might have never imagined trying. 

At Lincoln, whether you lead front and center in our Student Council, or behind the scenes as a stage manager for our Winter Musical, we see and feel your impact. If you are a team captain who brings spirit and drive to the field, or if you quietly shape the classroom culture by supporting your peers and amplifying community voices, Lincoln is a place where you can know yourself, be curious, take a bold stance, discover your passion and create true impact. Here at Lincoln, there are many different paths to success, and leadership takes on many different shapes. Here, you can be a scientist, an artist, and an athlete during your high school years, without feeling the need to fit into someone else's idea of you or idea of success. Here, we invite you to show up as your authentic self. 

I invite you to step through our red doors and witness the joy and learning for yourself.
