Why Lynnhaven?
Lynnhaven provides a dynamic project-based learning environment where students are challenged to learn, think, and grow both academically and personally. Our goal is to help stoke the inner flame of curiosity within students and to guide them into chasing those ideas and answering their own questions. We stress the importance of community, the value of individuality, and the ability to move within the world with confidence, responsibility and resilience.
The Small School Advantage
Small schools can offer benefits that go beyond academic achievement and address the deeper personal and learning needs of students. Lynnhaven offers the distinct advantage of a close-knit environment where students are not just names on a roster but individuals who are seen, heard, and challenged. Being able to get to know each other personally and to develop deep friendships creates a sense of sense of belonging and provides the space for individual students to find their voice and their passions and to take healthy risks in personal development. With fewer students in each class, meaningful connections between teachers and students can emerge from day one. Trust can be built and a mutual understanding of each other can happen. Teachers are able to get to know each student’s individual capabilities and can spend more time focusing on what each student needs to succeed, how to keep them excited and engaged, and can determine the areas where they may need extra support.
