Lynnhaven School is Richmond's only progressive education, co-educational independent high school, founded in 2010 by education leader and activist Johnathan Harris. Mr. Harris wanted to build a HAVEN "that accepted students for who and where they are, cared for them as individuals, worked with their hopes, embraced their dreams, and stayed with them along their journey." Lynnhaven School provides a social learning experience built on the principles of progressive education. Each and every student is expected to pursue successes, celebrate victories, and learn from defeats. It is through self-reliance, integrity, compassion, and humor that our students embrace and balance the freedom to be, with the responsibility to do. Education at Lynnhaven isn’t about a classroom and four walls. It is about the experience and opportunities to grow, learn, and lead. Students are encouraged to explore, reflect on their findings, and discuss answers or solutions. In experiential education, failure is an essential part of the learning process. When students persevere until they succeed, they genuinely grow. At Lynnhaven, we help students realize their potential...to grow in body, mind, and spirit. Our graduates leave Lynnhaven a better version of themselves with the confidence to pursue their dreams and the willingness to roll up their sleeves and do the work necessary to make them happen.

Lynnhaven School is nestled in eastern Henrico on a safe and secure campus. Transportation is available for students traveling from the Richmond area. Class sizes are purposefully small to provide an engaging and meaningful experience for every student.
