Lawrence Academy, a coeducational independent boarding school for 400 boarding and day learners in grade levels 9 through 12, is situated in Groton, Massachusetts. Our mission focuses on recognizing learners 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 learners 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 learners grow in knowledge, confidence, and empathy; able to make a meaningful contribution to the world once they leave our campus.
