The Linsly School

Wheeling, West Virginia, USA
Co-Ed, No Religious Affiliation

view map request catalog

An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest. These wise words spoken by Ben Franklin reflect the firm tradition upon which Linsly was founded in 1814. Students inherit a love for learning from an enthusiastic, inspired faculty who teach a rigorous, college-preparatory curriculum. Our 65-acre campus, just one hour from Pittsburgh and two hours from Columbus, provides attractive facilities for diverse athletic and extracurricular activities.

Core Values

Mind and Body: We engage the whole student—intellectually, artistically, and athletically—through meaningful participation in a safe and nurturing environment.

Intelligence and Character: We instill a growth mindset that sets our students on a lifelong journey of intellectual, character, and imaginative development.

Individual and Community: We honor each student’s individual talents and interests in an educational community marked by dedicated teacher-mentors and learning collaborations.

Teaching and Learning: We balance enduring and tested educational principles with research, innovations, and technologies.

Outcomes and Expectations: We prepare students with the skills and knowledge to be successful. We impart leadership qualities, such as resilience, willingness to embrace challenge, integrity, confidence, and self-discipline.
