Rivermont Schools Strengthens Commitment to Lynchburg with New Purpose-Built Campus
Lynchburg North to Relocate and Reopen as Lynchburg Leesville in August 2025
LYNCHBURG, Va., July 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Rivermont Schools is excited to announce the upcoming relocation and renaming of its Lynchburg North campus. The school will reopen in August 2025 as Rivermont Lynchburg Leesville at a newly renovated, purpose-built facility located at 742 Leesville Road, Lynchburg, VA 24502.
Rivermont Schools empower children and young adults aged 5 to 22 who have autism spectrum disorder (autism) or who face behavioral, emotional, and educational challenges. The new campus—replacing the current location at 3024 Forest Hills Circle—is designed to serve more students through expanded and enhanced learning environments.
The upgraded facility will feature:
- An outdoor playground
- Life skills rooms
- Multiple specialty and therapy rooms
- Spacious, modern classrooms
"In addition to accommodating and supporting more students, we're excited to expand our services to include more independent living and vocational skills training, along with a sensory room—an essential resource for students with autism and other sensory needs," said Audra Daniel, Principal of Lynchburg Leesville. "These valuable additions reflect our continued commitment to meeting the diverse needs of our students and preparing them for success beyond the classroom."
The new location remains conveniently situated within Lynchburg, and the transition is not expected to significantly impact student commute times. Rivermont Lynchburg Leesville will continue to offer the same exceptional programs and services that families and district partners have come to trust.
"This move reflects a strategic investment in the future of our students and their unique needs," said Darren Pfaff, Regional Vice President. "The new Lynchburg Leesville campus represents our ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality, individualized education in a space purpose-built to foster growth, learning, and long-term success. We remain deeply dedicated to the Lynchburg community and are proud to expand our presence here, ensuring families have access to the best possible support and resources."
As renovations progress, Rivermont Schools looks forward to welcoming community members and district partners to tour the new facility. An open house event will be announced in the coming months.
