Description

The Communications and Humanities Multi-Media Magnet concentrates on communications, both oral and written. The study of the humanities is used as a focus for teaching and learning in language arts, social scientists, geography, art and music. The mathematics and science curriculum of the Malden Public Schools are enhanced by the Communications/Humanities theme. State-of-the-art technology is used in all areas of teaching and learning.

There is a Gifted Education Program at the Linden School. Programming and curriculum are developed to fit the academic talents of the students. Criteria established by the Malden Public Schools, which include rubrics developed by the teachers of the gifted program, are used to determine student eligibility for the program. Placement is in accord with the Malden Controlled Choice Plan.

Special programs support services, as well as enrichment opportunities, such as enrichment clusters, are available to all students. Teaching and learning at Linden emphasizes critical and higher order thinking skills. Students are encouraged to develop authentic products for real world audiences.

Our focus is on developing students who are self-confident, respectful, and technologically prepared for the 21st Century. Children will be dedicated learners able to function effectively in a technologically prepared society to think critically, work independently, and have a wide range of interests.
