As Albert Einstein reminds us, human beings are born with an insatiable desire for knowledge. It is this innate sense of human curiosity that the Lyndon School hopes to capitalize upon as it strives to create the highest quality learning environment possible for its students. We work to help students become successful, contributing community members and responsible future citizens. After breakfast, students arrive in their classrooms and write in their journals. All students participate in morning meeting to greet each other and discuss the day's plans.
All lessons involve interactive learning and the use of manipulatives.
Specialists instruct bilingual and monolingual students in art, computer, music, science, and Spanish. Five days a week, classes leave for the YMCA physical education program. Parent volunteers read, work in our library, support classroom projects, and participate in fundraising initiatives. On Thursday afternoons, parents run an enrichment after-school program that offers chess, parlor games, art and several other clubs to approximately 150 students. There were 460 students enrolled at the end of the 1999-2000 school year.
