Sciences
Science is an essential part of our everyday life. It allows us to understand and advance the world around us. At Lyndon Academy we offer our students a hands-on approach to learning science beginning in our lower school and carrying throughout their time with us.

Math
Whether learning the fundamentals of mathematics in the lower school or studying complex equations in our upper school, we teach our students how to utilize this essential tool throughout their lives.

History
History is taught beginning in Junior Kindergarten and continues through graduation. Not only is it an analysis of the past, we offer tools for them to cope with the future as global citizens.

Arts
At Lyndon Academy we believe that the arts allow our students to see the world in new ways. Whether our students are exploring their world via Visual Arts, expanding their world through Preforming Arts, or losing themselves in the magic of Music, our aim is to increase their capacity to learn.

Athletics
Athletics are an important part of a student’s life. They teach invaluable lessons related to individual disciplines, sportsmanship, and team building skills while teaching skills and rules that are necessary and apply to daily life.
