Why Not You?
– Inspired by USA Olympian Noah Lyles
Founded in 1814, the Linsly School is a private, independent day and boarding school for students in grades 5 through 12. Our West Virginia private school offers college preparatory classes that combine the traditional values of hard work, respect, honor, honesty, and self-discipline within a challenging academic program designed to unlock the potential of each student.

The midle school faculty recognizes how incredibly important the middle grades are in the academic and social development of young adolescents. The middle years are a critical time in the identity formation of each student; therefore, character development, in addition to a rich and rigorous academic program , is an integral part of all educational endeavors at the Linsly Middle School.
At Linsly, we welcome the opportunity to get to know you and your son or daughter and promise that we will get to know them well inside and outside of the classroom. Together we will discover their strengths and weaknesses and we will work to challenge them where they are capable, and support them where they need guidance. We are committed to challenging our students to work hard academically, and also to practice the skills they will need for success in college and beyond.
The Linsly Boarding Department supports students who want to attend Linsly and experience boarding school residential life on our campus. We believe the most comprehensive Linsly experience is that lived by our boarding school students. Providing a warm, supportive, and structured environment for students in grades 7-12, the Linsly residential community is a home away from home.
Comprehensive in nature, the Linsly experience extends well beyond the requirements of the classroom. The Linsly School encourages students to develop their physical skills and realize individual interests through a well-managed program of athletics and extracurricular activities. Linsly’s "no cut / no quit" policy ensures a spot for all students on athletic teams, and requires them to honor their commitments. At one of the best private schools in Wheeling, a respect for competition and sportsmanship, an appreciation for sound physical health, and a willingness to persevere through challenges are values promoted throughout The Linsly School’s athletic program.

I was very shy when I came here as a freshman, but Linsly has helped me grow and become a better version of myself.
Abolaji O., Class of 2021
Choosing to send our son to Linsly in 5th grade was not an easy decision, because he did not want to leave his friends behind. We knew no one going into 5th grade, but he quickly met new friends, and we all felt so welcomed to the Linsly family.
Mrs. Nancy H., Linsly Parent
I wanted to take this time in between some classes to thank you for everything you helped me through last year with not only your course but in helping me decide my future route in life.
a recent alumnus in an email to her former teacher
Linsly is a community where everyone takes the time to help students tap into their individual potential, both in and out of the classroom. The teachers genuinely care for their students, and our son’s successes have been reflected in his honors reports.
Mrs. Lisa D., Linsly Parent
There is simply no greater feeling as a parent than knowing how happy and comfortable your children are every day at school. The Linsly School truly is a home to my two boys. They deeply admire every teacher as well as their many peers. They take great pride in being members of the Linsly family, and for that, I am deeply grateful.
