Summary: A Lawrenceville education builds on a tradition of intellectual and civic engagement and prepares students to be responsible leaders in the 21st century. Ever since James Cameron Mackenzie championed the house system in the 1890s and Edward Harkness and Allan Heely implemented discussion based, Harkness teaching in the 1930s, a Lawrenceville education has been marked by close faculty-student interactions and deep intellectual engagement. Lawrenceville faculty members are expert in their disciplines and committed to teaching well. They work closely with students to help them discover and develop their intellectual passions and think critically and creatively about the world around them and about the challenges and opportunities before them.

Summary: ATHLETICS From basketball to crew and the ice rink to the golf course, we offer 21 interscholastic sports and 70 teams where you can discover a new opportunity, condition your mind and body, or advance your existing athletic talents. No matter your interest, skill level, or competitive aspirations, your Big Red team will challenge and inspire you. From the time-honored traditions of House Olympics, to the rivalry of Hill Day and athletic competition with schools throughout the northeast United States, Big Red lives in all of us. Whether you're in the stands or on the field, you're a part of what makes us great - a leader, a learner, and a lifelong Lawrentian. There's a place for everyone in Big Red athletics. Big Red athletics develops leadership, sportsmanship, and a passionate pursuit of excellence that transcends the playing field. Building on our legacy of achievement in the Mid-Atlantic Prep League, 100% of our students participate in our athletic offerings. PERFORMING ARTS Lawrenceville offers classroom and co-curricular opportunities in the Visual and Performing Arts. Performing Arts Students are challenged to apply theory they learn in the classroom to the practice of art in performance. They find creative solutions to real-life problems, develop sophisticated communication skills in order to convey their ideas effectively, and work in close collaboration with their peers to achieve greatness in their discipline, connection to their community, and self-discovery to find their path into adulthood. Visual Arts Visual Arts students will be able to look critically at art in any form and be able to answer the essential question: why do things look the way they do? Through practical studio work, they will learn the skills essential to realizing a vision in disciplines as varied as filmmaking, 3-D design and fabrication, and observation-based drawing.
