Expanding Opportunities for Success
The principal of the new campus, Audra Daniel, is eager to highlight the invaluable benefits of the transition.

These additions are designed to meet a diverse array of student requirements and set them up for future success.
The transition to the new facility is planned to ensure minimal disruption to student commute times, allowing for a seamless transition for families involved. Rivermont Lynchburg Leesville is committed to delivering the exceptional programs and support that have become synonymous with their name.
