Located across from St. Mildred's- Lightbourn School in the historic Linbrook School building, the newly refurbished site will offer an innovative learning environment for boys. Interior renovations will start next month, and exterior improvements will begin in the spring. Engaging Boys At Linbrook School, we support a well-rounded student through academics, arts and athletics. The Linbrook approach supports teaching methods and learning spaces that encourage movement, inspire the pursuit of knowledge, and offer a warm and supportive environment. With access to training by leading experts on boys' education, our staff members understand and are passionate about how boys learn. A Unique Setting Linbrook is the perfect place for boys to learn and play. To support movement-based practices and diverse learning styles, our large classrooms offer a variety of workspaces, including shared work centres, stand-up tables, beanbag chairs and individual study areas. In addition, our unique Beyond the Classroom We recognize that every boy has his own special skills; athletes, musicians, performers, artists, writers and humanitarians will all have opportunities to shine at Linbrook. To support a diverse group of talented young men, we offer a dynamic intramural program, competitive sports teams and a wide array of extra-curricular clubs and programs that extend beyond the regular school day. Linbrook teachers, as well as several community partners, will enthusiastically provide these additional opportunities for our boys. After all, kindling spirits is as important as inspiring minds. We appreciate the extensive support from the community, and we are looking forward to opening our doors in September. To ensure that interested families may secure a placement for the fall, on-line pre-registrations have begun, and student interviews are underway. We look forward to hearing from you and providing your sons with an exceptional learning experience.
