Our School

Progressive education is at the heart of everything we do at Lynnhaven School. We believe learning should be active, meaningful, and deeply connected to the real world. Through experiential learning, our students engage in hands-on experiences, interdisciplinary studies, and field-based learning that foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and personal growth. Rooted in the philosophies of John Dewey and modern educational advancements, our approach nurtures intellectual curiosity, emotional resilience, and civic responsibility. We embrace an inclusive curriculum that values diverse perspectives and prepares students to thrive beyond the classroom.

Our Approach

Our students typically have one thing in common

Our students have one important thing in common: they did not thrive in traditional school environments. Sitting in rows, absorbing lectures in crowded classrooms, and being expected to learn in just one way didn’t allow them to maximize their potential. 


At our school, students are free to be their authentic selves. We understand that every student engages with knowledge differently, and we see those differences as assets. Our approach embraces hands-on experiences, interdisciplinary learning, and real-world applications that build essential skills in communication, critical thinking, and social responsibility, all the while preparing for success in college.

Our campus itself is a teacher...

At our school, the campus itself is a teacher. With acres of open land, we offer a truly unique environment where learning isn’t confined to four walls. Students can explore ideas while hiking forest trails, gather for class discussions under the sky, and enjoy the freedom of outdoor learning spaces that inspire curiosity and connection. Our expansive grounds provide room to play soccer or basketball, practice archery, care for chickens, or simply enjoy lunch with friends in the fresh air. Here, education thrives in nature—and students grow not just academically, but holistically.

Our students have one important thing in common: they did not thrive in traditional school environments. Sitting in rows, absorbing lectures in crowded classrooms, and being expected to learn in just one way didn’t allow them to maximize their potential. Many of our students are neurodiverse, neurotypical, or gifted—and often test above average in intelligence. Some have learning differences like ADHD. But all of them shared a need for an environment that recognizes and supports their individual strengths, learning styles, and aspirations.

At our core, we aim to nurture young people who are not just students—but thoughtful, curious problem-solvers. We create an environment where questions are encouraged, creativity is celebrated, and learning is a lifelong pursuit rather than a checklist. Our students are empowered to explore ideas, tackle real-world challenges, and think critically about the world around them. Just as importantly, we foster a deep sense of empathy and community responsibility. Our graduates don’t just leave with knowledge, they leave with purpose, ready to make meaningful contributions to their communities and care deeply for the people in them.
