The Lyon Learning Center provides print and electronic materials for research as well as leisure enjoyment. Lyon Technology consists of 3 carts of iBooks wirelessly networked with software for technology integration into the classroom curriculum. Thanks to the Lyon/PR PTA, a wireless network recently was installed so that students may utlize the iBooks throughout the building as well. Technology at Lyon School is integrated into the curriculum and aligned with the National Education Technology Standards for students. The Lyon School webpages are regularly used not only as a communication tool but also a portal for school and home curriculum connections. Many digital media tools are used by students to enrich classroom lessons.

Communication is kept current at Lyon School through our Lyon Life Newsletter is sent home every other week. Teachers keep in regular communication with parents and families with classroom newsletters as well as teacher web pages.

We pride ourselves with a dedicated staff that provides quality educational programs suited to meet the needs of each individual child in a supportive environment. Our belief is all children can achieve success if given the opportunities, materials, and support. Our mission is to enable students to appreciate themselves and others as responsible, independent, and collaborative learners within an academic environment that is both challenging and nurturing.
