The new infants and toddlers program and the Early Childhood program are also for boys. Lincoln recognizes that learning is a life-long process. This is a school where the focus is on the total development of the young woman. As a school with a strong Quaker background, Lincoln puts emphasis on the dignity and worth of each individual. There is a tradition of values which enables each student to develop her intellect and perfect her skills, sustained by a strong ethical base.
Girls learn in an atmosphere of security.
They are encouraged to take chances, to reach forward, to form their own opinions, to speak out, and to think independently. The growth of student's individual voice is a major purpose of a girl's education. A decade of National research on gender difference in learning has clearly documented that the way girls assimilate information is different from the way boys do. At Lincoln we are keyed in to how girls learn, and we know what methods work best. In addition, faculty members develop a measure of closeness to their students as their own roles extend beyond teaching to serving also as coaches, advisors, and friends.
