ADMISSIONS
Whether a student is getting hands-on experience in the classroom, in the workshop, on the playing fields, or in extracurricular activities, we believe that students learn "by doing" and we strive to offer multiple opportunities for our students to create, discover, make, build, and explore.

ACADEMICS
The teachers and administrators of Lyndon Institute believe that learning is a process which continues throughout life, and that formal education should provide a sound basis for later development. We recognize that student interest and motivation are vital to educational success and therefore, school should be both a challenging and enjoyable experience for all concerned.
