Your story. Your journey. Your school.
Lynnhaven is for high school learners eager to break free of the traditional school box and chart their own course.
"My child has experienced a remarkable shift in her approach to learning, becoming genuinely involved, enthusiastic, and assuming complete responsibility for her educational journey. Witnessing her transformation has been a wonderful experience!"

Not everyone fits or wants a traditional education experience, and why should they? Learning, at its core, is personal. At Lynnhaven, Richmond's first micro high school, we embrace those learners who may be gifted or twice exceptional (2e), or learners whose independence, creativity and curiosity leave them wanting more in their education. We often say "Education is more!" And at Lynnhaven, it is more. More authentic, more engaging, more personal, and more fun!
The digital age has fundamentally changed our social, emotional, and economic landscape. Did you know the traditional education system that exists today was formed in 1892? In the past, skilled labor relied on individuals with route knowledge who could recollect specific facts and perform routine tasks with high accuracy. But when is the last time someone had you complete as many multiplication problems as you could in one minute? In today's world, the most vital skills encompass comprehending the context of a problem, posing relevant questions, and skillfully locating credible sources to address them in collaboration with a global workforce. In this context, the essence of a Lynnhaven education—empowering students to think critically and creatively—holds even greater relevance and significance. We think school could and SHOULD be so much more!

Micro But Mighty!
Microschools are changing the face of education. Because unlike their traditional school counterparts who grapple with overcrowded classrooms and an industrial model that fails to meet the needs of most students, microschools present an agile and future-forward educational model that are a breath of fresh air. A microschool is an innovative, small school model, like Lynnhaven School, that typically serves fewer than 150 students. The small class sizes in microschools allow for more personalized attention and meaningful connections between students and teachers. This fosters a strong sense of community and enables educators to create a supportive and collaborative learning environment. Lynnhaven School brings the microschool revolution to Richmond, because our students deserve the opportunity to learn in an environment that truly sees them and empowers them to lead the way.
