Lawrence Academy offers students a unique learning community – one committed to providing an outstanding learning environment and shaping a bright future for every student. Students are challenged in an academic atmosphere that stimulates their creativity and capabilities. We are a school where teachers respect and value student ideas, welcome the challenge of a difficult question, and incorporate both traditional and innovative approaches to teaching and learning. Lawrence Academy is a place where children smile and laugh. It is a family place where brothers, sisters, and friends ride the bus together and greet each other in the halls during the school day.
