Overview
Forest Hill Military Academy is a failed institution which is no longer operating.
The Lexington School provides an education of the highest quality in a structured, nurturing community. We instill integrity, a joyful pursuit of learning, and a strong work ethic.
In our supportive environment where children are known, they develop courage. Courageous children take risks, and we embrace the growth that emerges from their success and failure.
We succeed when our graduates crave achievement and live with a purpose beyond themselves.
