Classes Begin Feb 22 on the New Campus - Last Day on Hwy 92 Feb 12
The new elementary campus will be built in three phases and will accommodate approximately 500 students in grades Pre-K through 5th when complete. On February 22nd students will begin classes in Phase I of the new campus, which can comfortably accommodate 150 students. This is the first of many phases of construction for the eventual pre-k through 12th grade program. The school has operated for the last three and a half school years in a temporary building on Highway 92. Now out of space, the students look forward to moving into their new and more permanent home on Toonigh Rd. off of Exit 11 on I-575. The official address is 485 Toonigh Rd., Woodstock, GA 30188.
Built from the Heart for the Mind and Body
The brand new building and grounds are engineered and designed for the mind and body. Soft, warm tones and natural light fill the space. The floor plan and classrooms are conducive to the school's unique rotating class system. Each classroom is appropriately equipped for the subject content and its integrated technology. A 1:2 computer to student ratio will be maintained in each room, and new Smart Boards technology will be introduced into the classrooms as well.
Special air filters and double UV lighting systems will assist in producing superior air quality and reduce the spread of contagious diseases. A uniquely engineered interior storm shelter will provide a safe haven for students no matter what the conditions are outside. Security cameras and six feet high fences covered in Carolina Jasmine will serve as added protection and natural screening for the expansive play and fitness area.
There is enough space on the grounds for two ball fields. The play area also includes a picnic area, obstacle courses to improve strength and large motor skills, slides, rock climbing walls, other climbing apparatus, monkey bars, see saws, and basketball hoops. On the perimeter of the play area races can be run, basketball can be played, and older students can ride their bikes during recess.
No Capital Campaign Required
Amidst a national financial crisis, Lyndon Academy breathes hope and prosperity into Holly Springs. The school is now one of the fastest growing private schools in the State of Georgia.
The lack of a capital campaign represents just one more unique aspect of this growing school. The expansion and opening of the new elementary campus in February 2010 is a sign of the strength of the school and the success of its forward-thinking educational programs. This second, more permanent, building and campus is dedicated to the students and families who strive for something better for the future and is symbolic of the commitment, will and belief in the future of education at Lyndon Academy.
Plans for another elementary facility, middle school and high school are soon to come. The staged grade by grade growth is paced appropriately to allow proper time for future development. New facilities will be built as necessitated by demand. Parents only need to be concerned about teaching their children a love of learning today.
