Lafayette School partners with local school systems and community members in providing an alternative day-school setting that focuses not only on academics, but on the overall emotional issues often underlying academic failures.
Lafayette Schools services Central Virginia students from the surrounding localities, including: Albemarle, Augusta, Charlottesville (city), Fluvanna, Hanover, and Louisa counties, with a capacity for 24 total students.
