Dear Prospective Parents,
Welcome to Lynnhaven Academy. We are located in the heart of Richmond, VA. I understand that searching for the right progressive learning environment for your child can be challenging. I encourage you to get to know our community by participating in one of our many admissions events. As you navigate and explore the various independent schools in Richmond, I encourage you keep these two things in perspective. First, does the school align with your family core values? Second, will they meet your child where they are, and stay with them along their school journey? Our admissions events are designed to help you answer those two questions. Lynnhaven is a place where students are allowed to achieve personal success. I am committed to our promise to prepare them for life beyond graduation. I am here to answer any questions you may have about the school.
Sincerely,
Casey Hitchcock, M.Ed.
Head of School

Admissions Events |
Lynnhaven Admissions ProcessInquire
Select the Inquiry tab from the drop down menu at the top of the page or RSVP online to the left, for one of our Admissions events. It's a great way to meet our teachers, students, and administration. Shadow After you've inquired, toured the school, and/or participated in an open house, the next step is to shadow for a day. Shadowing includes sitting in on classes, meeting our teachers, and interviewing with our Head of School. This is an important part of the admissions process for inquiring families as well as the student. Lynnhaven does not require scores and data from outside testing. We do have our own assessments to measure academic and cognitive development. Students will undergo this procedure during the shadow day. However, if we feel that outside testing would be useful in the decision process, then we may request it. Apply Parents who wish to apply to Lynnhaven MUST submit an online application for their child along with a non-refundable $50 application fee. Click this link to Apply! Please view the application materials below: Each step links to the appropriate documentation or page.
No decision will be made until ALL application materials are received and processed with the admissions office. Decision Admissions decisions will be communicated via email within one to two weeks after receiving a completed application. We admit and enroll students on a rolling basis, throughout the school year as space permits. Enrollment Parents of accepted students will receive a decision letter from the Director of Student Accounts and, per decision, an enrollment contract via email. Contracts should be completed and enrollment fees should be deposited to reserve your student’s place for the coming year. Student Orientation Newly enrolled Lynnhaven students complete orientation before the start of the school year, typically two-weeks before the first day of classes. If you are mid year transfer student then families will complete an abbreviated version of orientation. In either case, it's a designated time to meet faculty and staff as well as other new students and families. Additionally, our Leadership Team will review the school policies, procedures, and school calendar as well as respond to questions and concerns. First Day of School! This is the final step in the admissions process. Lynnhaven typically returns after Labor Day in September. Lynnhaven Academy is a private, non-profit charitable corporation that admits students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, and programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate based on race, color, disabilities, national or ethnic origin in administration of its education policies, admissions policies, athletic and other school administered programs.
