The Lynedoch Public School is a defunct elementary school in the hamlet of Lynedoch, Ontario, Canada which taught students from kindergarten to the second grade starting in the year 1881. This school was considered to be a feeder school to Walsh Public School. Unlike its sister campus, there was never a special education program at Lynedoch Public School. The size of the playground of Lynedoch Public School was almost as big as its sister campus, Walsh Public School, which plenty of elbow room for the primary students. The school was a part of the Grand Erie District School Board.

Lynedoch Public School, up until 2001, held fund raisers and fun days for the children attending Lynedoch Public School, and run by the staff and students from Walsh Public School. Unfortunately, the school was forced to shut down on September of 2001 due to budgeting reasons. While the school is gone forever, there will always be memories of this fine institution from children who are now in college or university, high school or in the 8th grade. The last group to cycle through Lynedoch Public School are now 11-12 years old as of 2008.

Currently, the schoolgrounds are being used as a residence, training, and wellness centre known as "L'Abri des Anges" (Shelter of Angels). The original classroom will be used for a wide range of workshops, exhibitions, community meetings, even intimate weddings, yoga and ballroom dancing classes [cite web | url = http://www.labri-des-anges.com/| title = Current usage | publisher = L'Abri des Anges| date = | accessdate = 2008-08-12] .
