School Notes
Students learn best when they are actively involved through
researching, investigating, discussing, creating, solving problems,
defending their beliefs, and more. At Lynnhaven, students take
responsibility for their own learning. They engage with problems,
tools, and ideas, as well as peers and teachers. To support this,
teachers create and use curricula that include ample opportunities
to learn actively and work on meaningful projects, provide options
that let students make choices, and employ flexible pacing
strategies.
At Lynnhaven, skills development is woven into all aspects of
the learning experience. At other schools, students focus primarily
on what they need to know (or memorize) to demonstrate learning on
tests. At Lynnhaven, students gain academic knowledge through their
work to develop skills.Our academic calendar is divided into
3 five tosix-week epic cycles, during which students take a
selection of learning expeditions to explore specific topics and
skills. Instead of lectures and textbooks, these epics may involve
Socratic discussions, real-world projects, labs or other other
active learning formats.
Lynnhaven's essential experiences include, service,
micro-electives, field trips, and our travel based programs
(Voyager and Camp Lynnhaven) are invaluable and immeasurable
opportunities to develop qualities which people should progress
toward throughout life.
We evaluate students on something way more important than
grades: mastery! Within each epic, students have many opportunities
to demonstrate their mastery of a topic or skill, and they always
have the chance to try again. We translate students` mastery
transcripts into GPA-based transcripts when needed.

Lynnhaven's unique environment delivers a challenging college-prep curriculum infused with art, hands-on projects, collaboration, and experiential learning. Small classes are taught creatively without the pressures of high stakes testing getting in the way. Your child's social-emotional growth isn't left out of the equation at here. Lynnhaven is school the way it should be. Finding Lynnhaven changed our lives for the better.

What a wonderful place. Can't say enough good things about Lynnhaven. They offer the rigor my son needs as well as the compassion and understanding to help him recover his confidence. They provide an experience unlike any other school with real hands-on learning and exposure to all Richmond has to offer.
