Linnaea students belong to a strong, close knit community of staff and students. Every morning begins with students, staff and visiting parents sitting together in a circle on the floor for games, role plays, singing or reading buddies. In Morning Circle, students receive recognition for their good deeds in the form of their virtue certificates. Everyone gets specially recognized in Circle by a picture and poem composed for them by the school community at some point during the year.

In addition to multi-age classrooms, relationships between age groups are strengthened in many ways. In weekly clubs, students from different classes come together with parents and staff to learn skills such as carpentry, knitting and kayaking. Once a week, older and younger students team up to read together. At the winter holiday, students exchange home made gifts through a name draw.

Parents are included in the community through required parent time in which they help in the classroom or with special events. And everyone comes together for seasonal celebrations: the Festival of Lights, May Day and the End of Year Celebration.
