At Lyons Community School, we are united by a shared commitment to unconventional learning, unconditional support, and the belief in every student’s unlimited potential.
Serving students in grades 6–12, our mission is to provide personalized learning experiences that spark discovery, foster growth, and prepare young people for success in adulthood. Through internships, field studies, athletics, restorative practices, and a focus on social justice, Lyons cultivates an inclusive environment where students build strong identities and develop the skills to thrive in college, career, and beyond.
Academic Challenge through Performance Assessment
At Lyons, students don’t just take tests—they demonstrate their learning through in-depth projects, presentations, and portfolios. This unconventional approach reflects real understanding and prepares students for the kind of thinking the world demands. With unconditional support from educators and a community united in purpose, every student is empowered to realize their unlimited potential.
At Lyons, we build a culture of trust and accountability through unconventional learning practices like restorative circles and reflective dialogue. In a community united by mutual respect and unconditional support, students learn to listen deeply, reflect honestly, and repair harm with integrity—growing not only as learners, but as compassionate, responsible members of a larger world. This is how we nurture their unlimited potential.
At Lyons, every student is part of a small, consistent group called a Crew—a space where they are truly known, supported unconditionally, and held to high expectations. Crew is the heart of our school community: a place where relationships deepen, goals are set, and students grow together. It reflects our belief in unconventional learning and our commitment to helping every student realize their unlimited potential.
