Imagine this: Forty-seven rolling acres boasting incredible natural resources including an eight-acre lake, stream, open fields, wooded areas… and Northeast Ohio’s only school exclusively serving middle and high school students with learning differences.

Located on the former Fell Lake recreation area in Sagamore Hills, the Lawrence Upper School can accommodate 300 students in grades seven through 12.  The Lawrence Lower School program has retained sole use of our current Broadview Heights facility. 

The Sagamore Hills Upper School provides students with state-of-the-art wireless laptop technology; science laboratories; music and art suites; a theater; main and auxiliary gymnasiums; athletic fields including a baseball diamond, soccer field and cross country course; and 47 acres of “living laboratory” space which allows students to participate in weather activities, year-round outdoor study, topography, orienteering, and wildlife identification.

The building’s 62,000 square foot floor plan was designed by Strollo Architects of Youngstown, Ohio. Ruhlin Company of Sharon Center, Ohio, was awarded the construction contract.

With the new campus location, both the Lower and Upper School campuses extend Lawrence School’s reach beyond the 70 communities in ten counties it currently serves. This will enable Lawrence to continue assuring that bright students throughout Northeast Ohio with learning and attention differences are afforded the opportunity to unlock their potential and succeed.
