Linden School is located on the campus of the Elyria Wesleyen Village, a retirement center. Throughout the day the senior residents, or "Grandfriends" as the children call them, visit with the children and participate in clasroom activities. This unique setting allows for the children and seniors to form lasting relationships. All classroom staff are certified guides through Macklin Intergenerational Institute.
