Lynnhaven School

Progressive education is at the heart of everything we do at Lynnhaven School. We believe learning should be active, meaningful, and deeply connected to the real world. Through experiential learning, our students engage in hands-on experiences, interdisciplinary studies, and field-based learning that foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and personal growth. Rooted in the philosophies of John Dewey and modern educational advancements, our approach nurtures intellectual curiosity, emotional resilience, and civic responsibility. We embrace a decolonized, inclusive curriculum that values diverse perspectives and prepares students to thrive beyond the classroom.
