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 a decolonized, inclusive curriculum that values diverse perspectives and prepares students to thrive beyond the classroom.
As John Dewey once said, “Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.” At Lynnhaven, we embody this philosophy every day by creating an environment where students don’t just learn about the world—they engage with it.

Our Students
Our students are neurodiverse, neurotypical, gifted, and those with learning differences, thriving in an environment designed to support their unique strengths and needs. We recognize that every learner processes and engages with knowledge differently, and we embrace those differences as assets. Through hands-on experiences, interdisciplinary learning, and real-world applications, our students develop essential skills in communication, critical thinking, and social responsibility. Whether conducting environmental research, collaborating with local organizations, or engaging in experiential learning, our students face challenges with confidence and a commitment to making a difference. With a strong focus on well-being and personal growth, we ensure that each student receives the academic, social, and emotional support needed to navigate their educational journey successfully.
Our Difference
Lynnhaven School offers a truly student-centered approach that prioritizes experiential learning, equity, and student agency. Our curriculum integrates interdisciplinary studies, field-based learning, and civic engagement to provide a transformative educational experience. We recognize that true learning extends beyond textbooks and classrooms—our students explore real-world issues, engage with policymakers, and collaborate with experts to apply their knowledge in meaningful ways. By fostering a culture of inclusivity, creativity, and lifelong learning, we are preparing students not just for graduation but for life.
Our Goal
We want our students to learn how to learn, to identify and recruit the right individuals to support them throughout their education, and to embrace challenges along the way. We encourage them to be brave—not in the absence of fear, but in moving forward despite it. Growth happens in moments of uncertainty, and we support our students as they navigate difficulties with resilience and determination. At Lynnhaven, we meet students where they are and stay with them along their journey, ensuring they have the tools, encouragement, and guidance to succeed in their own unique way.
