Developing deep thinkers for the modern world.
Evidence-Based Education
Linder prides itself on independence. We follow the scientific research in education, cognitive neuroscience, and learning to create a program that provides the best-known instructional methods to young learners.
Reasoning. Writing. Reading.
There are key skills in elementary education that determine the trajectory of a child’s academic life. We focus on those skills and set aside the bloated checklists of facts and material that too often are the core of curriculum.
Diverse Learners.
There is no such thing as a normal learner, and we recognize that current educational practices often leave the majority of children behind. Our background is in educational intervention for students with learning disabilities. But we soon realized what scientists have already proven: the best interventions aren’t interventions at all — but should be the curriculum for everyone.
At Linder we embrace all students and offer the best practices to each child. We don’t see the world in terms of “accommodations” or down-to-the-minute lesson plans, but rather as a completely open canvas of time and technique for how we teach our diverse learners.
“Our son is very bright but was struggling in school. His self-confidence was suffering and he was getting increasingly frustrated and disenchanted. With Linder's help, we have been able to pinpoint why he was struggling, where his strengths are and formulate a plan to both challenge and support him. Our son seems happier and is more engaged. As parents, we are so appreciative of Kristin and her team. Their candor and no-nonsense approach is very refreshing. It is abundantly clear that their primary concern is what is best for our son.”
