The Future Lyndon Student
Do you want your children to have the world at their fingertips? Imagine being 23 years old. Now imagine that you
can speak four languages fluently, you were the Student Council Vice President, you earned two letters in varsity, you are proficient on the piano, technology is your fifth language, you spent one year in China studying international business, and you just graduated with a double major from MIT on scholarship. Imagine what you can do now. The possibilities are infinite with this well established international college prep program.
This might seem dreamy to you, considering that our oldest students will only be going into sixth grade, but this is exactly where Lyndon students are headed. They are already studying in three languages daily. They are active community members, athletes, club members, and young musicians today. They will be sought after by some of the best colleges and universities.
What are colleges and universities looking for? Academically sound and well rounded students. It's not the 4.0 that matters. The lack of state or federal standards on report grades almost makes a grade point average meaningless to a college admissions advisor. It's the SAT score, ACT scores, the ability to problem solve, and the ability to communicate in multiple languages. It's about being a team player, a leader, and a good citizen.
Growth and Development
In the last five years Lyndon has added a grade each year. Next year the inaugural class will move on to sixth grade. This method of growth provides a high level of quality control and a smooth implementation process. The curriculum already exists for each grade through grade twelve. Classroom space exists for further growth, and the students exist already as well. The only missing components are new text books, new teachers, and new classroom equipment.
The administration and parents of the inaugural class work together annually to meet the coming demands of middle school and upper school students. It is important to provide an environment that encourages the development of the whole person as we move forward. Academics, Athletics, extra-curricular activities, and student life are extremely important. Each year programs are added and enhanced to facilitate the end goal and the demands of the future student.
We welcome you to talk to our parents about our future plans and their experiences thus far, as their children move closer and closer to middle school.
Building Campaign
You may have heard that there is no capital campaign or building fund, and that is correct. Lyndon adds facilities and programs as enrollment dictates. In the last four years, Lyndon has experienced an average of 33% growth. With that growth Lyndon moved out of its temporary facility on Highway 92, and built phase one of a new campus. New buildings will continue to be built as demand dictates, and benchmark numbers are hit. After existing on the new campus for less than 12 months, the school is already preparing to begin construction again within the next 8 months.
For more detailed information on growth and expansion plans please contact the school.
