Gender Admission Guidelines

Lincoln will consider applications from students who identify as female, regardless of their assigned sex at birth, for Grades K–12. Lincoln accepts applications from those who were assigned female at birth, identify as non-binary, intersex, or gender non-conforming and who feel they belong in our community of girls and women. Lincoln accepts all genders for our early childhood infant through pre-kindergarten program.

Should a current Lincoln student begin to identify as male, non-binary, intersex, or gender nonconforming, the student will continue to have a home at Lincoln School. Lincoln will also work in partnership with the student and their family to provide support throughout the next steps of their academic journey.

These guidelines, consistent with the National Coalition of Girls Schools (NCGS) and NCGS member schools, apply to all Lincoln students and applicants. 

Lincoln values the safety and respect of all members of our community, no matter their gender identity. Lincoln will continue to be an inclusive space where our students grow academically and personally, building characteristics and traits that will serve them throughout life.  We expect all students who choose Lincoln will be supportive of the School’s history, mission, and advocacy for girls’ education and women’s advancement.
