Whether students join us in their early high school years or transfer mid-stream, our flexible program is designed to meet them where they are. Our curriculum offers a wide range of core subjects and electives, providing opportunities to explore passions, build on prior knowledge, and work toward a post-graduation plan that aligns with their aspirations. With a focus on hands-on learning, critical thinking, and real-world skills, Lynnhaven students are empowered to take ownership of their education, ensuring they are prepared for whatever comes next.

     Lynnhaven has transformed my child. They are excited about what they are learning and school has become something they look forward to each day. I have already seen so much growth in their confidence as a student.
