Lawrence students dream big when it comes to the future. And our job is to make sure the doors of opportunity never close to them simply because of a diagnosis.
The Office of College and Career Planning guides students and families through the transition from Lawrence to successful post-secondary life. Throughout the high school years, Lawrence provides comprehensive, individualized future planning services for each and every student.
Our process, which begins freshman year, encourages students to explore their unique strengths and long-term aspirations. Students meet on campus with a multitude of colleges and universities, vocational programs, military programs, and other post-secondary options on Lawrence's campus. Our counselors help students build a list of potential schools, prepare for standardized tests, write essays, and apply for financial aid and scholarships.
The process not only prepares students for their bright futures, but helps them to build confidence in their communication, self-advocacy, and decision-making skills. By graduation day, 100% of our seniors have a clearly articulated plan for the next chapter of their lives.
From application to acceptance, the Lawrence staff went above and beyond in helping our daughter find a school that was the perfect fit. She is not only excelling at her university, but loving every moment! We can’t wait to see what else her future holds! - Alumni Parent
The Office of College and Career Planning provides guidance in the following areas:
We believe learning is a journey that extends far beyond Lawrence School. Our role is to provide students with the tools they need to become learners for life. We work closely with our students to help them understand the college process and develop an appropriate list of schools to explore.
