Lawrence School

For over 50 years, Lawrence School has provided a specialized K-12 educational environment specifically designed for students with learning differences. The curriculum focuses on supporting students with dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and executive function challenges. Using a multisensory instructional approach based on the Orton-Gillingham philosophy, the school integrates visual, tactile, auditory, and kinesthetic activities to help students grasp and retain complex concepts.

The school offers a highly focused learning environment with an average class size of just 9 students, allowing for personalized instruction to help learners close academic gaps. Families can also access the Ethan D. Schafer Center for Learning Differences, which provides essential resources including staff psychologists who can conduct evaluations and guide families toward appropriate specialized services. Beyond the classroom, students can build social skills and confidence through diverse extracurriculars such as drama, esports, rock climbing, and various athletic programs.

Lawrence School is a nonsectarian institution operating on a rolling admissions basis. Tuition typically ranges from $20,000 to $35,000, and the school is committed to accessibility, with 33% of students receiving financial aid. The school maintains a formal dress code and offers summer programming to further support student growth and continuity of learning.
