Our History
Founded in 2005 by Linda Murdock with the support of her family, Lyndon Academy began with a bold vision to create an elite, internationally minded private school in the metro Atlanta area. Starting in a small facility in Woodstock, the school launched with a pilot Junior Kindergarten program that introduced daily Spanish instruction and a rotating class model. The success of this approach led to steady growth, with additional grades added each year.
In 2007, Lyndon Academy earned SACS-CASI accreditation, marking a significant milestone in its development. Continued growth prompted the expansion to a new campus, with construction beginning in 2009 as part of a multi-phase plan toward a full PreK–12 program. In 2019, Lyndon celebrated its first graduating class, whose four students collectively earned more than $340,000 in college scholarship offers.
Linda Murdock and family founded Lyndon Academy.
In Spring, Lyndon earned its SACS-CASI accreditation status. The growth and foreseeable growth necessitated the relocation and expansion of Lyndon Academy.
