Through the untiring efforts of pioneers such as, Mrs. Isabelle Bass and Mr. Austin Channer, the Linden SDA School opened in 1959 with nine students in four grades, a principal and one teacher. By the second year, the enrollment had risen to forty students in eight grades. During the ensuing years, the student body had steadily increased, and today the school has an accommodation of 235 students. Formerly located at 172-12 Linden Boulevard, St. Albans, the school was relocated to its present site, 137-01, 228th Street, Laurelton, New York in 1981. Its motto is “Education for Now and Eternity”.
