Lawrence Academy, a coeducational independent boarding school for 400 boarding and day students in grades 9 through 12, is located in Groton, Massachusetts. Our mission focuses on recognizing students for who they are; inspiring them to take responsibility for who they want to become, and empowering them to take action for the greater good. LA prides itself on a compassionate culture. Individualized learning and empowerment is a cornerstone of our program; a focus that extends beyond the classroom to athletics, the arts, clubs, community service, and experiential learning (via our Winterim program). Skilled at “teaching for understanding,” faculty use innovative methods to help students learn in the way best suited for them. The daily Advisory system uses student needs and passions to help build pathways to individual goals and aspirations. We seek to see students grow in knowledge, confidence, and empathy; able to make a meaningful contribution to the world once they leave our campus.

Lawrence Academy Reviews
The school led by the Heed of School Dan Schiebe has been outstanding with regard to the COVID-19 situation. All of his communication has been thoughtful and timely. He has encouraged all of the students to take away something positive from the experience and has stressed resilience in his communications and in the spring curriculum. As a parent I have felt welcome at the school and encouraged to join various parent committees that have enriched my experience and allowed me to see first hand what an amazing place Lawrence Academy is!
