Linton Hall School

Linton Hall School

Linton Hall School is a Catholic day-school occupying an 120‑acre campus in Linton Hall, Virginia, in Prince William County about 60 km (35 miles) west of Washington, D.C.

The school was founded in 1894 when Sarah Linton — an Anglican who converted to Roman Catholicism, took the veil and became Sister Mary Bautista, assigned to the Georgetown Day School in Washington, D.C. — donated land from Lintonsford (or Linton's Ford), her family's plantation, to establish a convent of Benedictine nuns and St. Edith's Academy, a school for the education of poor girls.

In 1922 the girls' school moved to Richmond, Virginia, and Linton Hall, a military boarding school for boys (fifth to eighth grades), was founded. In 1988 the Benedictine Sisters of Virginia revised the school's format: it is now a coeducational Catholic day-school, pre-kindergarten to eighth grade.
