Falwell attended private schools in the Lynchburg area, attending Lynchburg Christian Academy, where he graduated in 1980, and attended Liberty University, where he obtained his Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies in 1984. Falwell then attended the University of Virginia School of Law, where he obtained his Juris Doctor degree in 1987.
