Lynnhaven Academy Moves to New Location in the Museum District to Accommodate Rapid Growth and Expand Programs
Lynnhaven Academy (Lynnhaven) announced today that the school will be moving on August 1, 2015 to 304 North Sheppard Street, Richmond, Virginia, the former location of St. Benedictine High School.
Lynnhaven is a college preparatory academy for boys and girls in grades 3 through 12 and features a unique experiential learning environment. Lynnhaven specializes in individualized education programs tailored for each student’s needs and strengths and programs that promote critical thinking and academ- ic achievement.
Lynnhaven has doubled its student population each year since it was founded in 2012. Due to this growth, Lynnhaven will be moving into the space at 304 North Sheppard Street to facilitate the expansion of its day school, after school, and summer camp programs. Lynnhaven will occupy 10,000 square feet of this facility and will share the gym and cafeteria with the other facility occupant, Richmond Prep, an independent Christian school offering services to children in grades PK – 6.
“The leadership, faculty, staff and families of Lynnhaven are thrilled to make this move to the former St. Benedictine High School space” said Johnathan Harris, founder and Headmaster. “I am also especially thankful to the Catholic Diocese of Richmond for allowing Lynnhaven to occupy this wonderful facility. I feel confident that this move will allow us to continue our growth and strengthen our commitment to pre- paring students for success in college. Our aim is to challenge them to become exemplary citizens of a changing global society. We’ll be very close to museums, parks and cultural organizations, which will allow us to grow our experiential learning, student volunteer, and athletic programs.”
