Linden School

The Linden S.T.E.A.M Academy is a K-8 Innovation School within the Malden Public School District that creates a personalized learning experience using small group and differentiated instruction to inspire all students towards becoming college and career ready. Our students experience STEM classes in our new Makerspace and Robotics lab. We partner with various organizations and universities in the Boston area in order to bring a rich and diverse set of offerings in the arts and sciences. All of our students participate in a yearly Exhibition Night where their work is on display for the Malden and Linden communities as students conduct Presentations of Learning to demonstrate their understanding and growth. Our school uses the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) model to support the students social and emotional growth throughout our school community. We have also partnered with Communities for Restorative Justice to help build community within our building and support our PBIS.
