Welcome to Lyndon Academy. As a long time educator, I can't think of anything more important than the children that will take us into the future. It is our responsibility to be sure that they each have the knowledge and skills that will enable them to make decisions, as they grow older.
I believe they need to be instilled with the concept that they are responsible for their world. It begins with the small area around them. They have responsibilities to themselves, their family, their friends, their community, and ultimately their world. Education will provide them with the tools to develop each day to make the world a better place.
I have always believed that if everyone only did only one thing extra each day to help make the world around him or her better, the impact would be tremendous for us all.
So to this end, I dedicate myself. One thing extra per day...a better world for tomorrow.
Thank you for becoming a part of the Lyndon family. The future is our priority.

 Peter Murdock - Director of Operations
Welcome to Lyndon Academy. Our motto is "The Future is Our Priority." Believing in this philosophy is the most important part of our job. Our success is only measured by the success of our students. At Lyndon, the children of the future are our primary responsibility. Therefore, it is important that each child is provided with the proper tools and surroundings to achieve his or her very best.
As Lyndon evolves and expands, I am committed to the ideas of individualized and caring attention. Thus, as our student body grows, our classrooms and faculty will also grow proportionally. I will always be looking to the future and always keeping the present in mind.
I look forward to serving the parents and the youth of our future, and I look forward to working with you in the development of Lyndon Academy and the Lyndon Foundation.
