Laurel Ridge Community College

Located in Middletown, Virginia, in the northern Shenandoah Valley, Lord Fairfax Community College (LFCC) serves students across eight counties in the region. The main campus sits on 120 acres in a rural setting approximately 70 miles west of Washington, D.C., with additional campuses in Fauquier and Page Counties. Established in 1970 to meet the region's educational needs, LFCC operates as part of the Virginia Community College System and offers associate degrees, certificates, and workforce training programs. The college maintains strong transfer agreements with Virginia's public universities and focuses on programs in health professions, business administration, and technical fields. The Middletown campus features modern classroom buildings and laboratory facilities, though as a commuter college, it does not provide on-campus housing.
