Linworth Alternative Program

As a current Linworth student, I can truly say that Worthington is lucky to have a program like Linworth. I've always found my teachers to be very understanding and passionate about what they do, and that has had a tremendous impact on my education, because it is far easier to learn when an educator is excited about what they are teaching.nnLinworth is the most accepting school I have ever attended, and I feel completely at home when I am there. I have friends in all different grades, with interests ranging from counseling, videogame design, music production to electrical engineering/design. It's a safe haven for many who were bullied for their uniqueness earlier in their school careers. Everyone is friendly, I haven't met a single person at Linworth who wasn't accepting and inclusive. Students of all kinds, whether they are normal, have learning disabilities or are honors/advanced placement student or even exchange students are respected and treated with dignity.nnLinworth is rare in that it provides wonderful opportunities for real world experiences and connections that have helped graduates long after they have physically left the building. Many Linworth alumni I've spoken to have said that their job is tied to an opportunity they were able to take through programs like Interim and Walkabout at Linworth. Alumni have myriad careers- lawyers, forecasting for the National Weather Service, adventuring, food justice and charity organizing, apartment complex management, illustration, catering, IT management, specialized computer programming jobs for the U.S. government, among many other things. There's no other school that strives as much as Linworth does to prepare its students for college and for life. We're taught to be supportive, innovative, environmentally away and above all, we're taught to give back to the community that has made all of our opportunities possible.

We couldn't be more pleased with the education and experience that our son has had in his 4 years at Linworth. Truly a quality program and a life changing experience that has given him an excellent foundation for college and beyond.
