Lawrence Academy accepts two common applications. Applicants are only required to complete one of these applications, and we do not favor one over the other.
Our application deadline is January 15, 2022, for all candidates. A completed application requires submission of the following items through one of the common applications listed above:
Candidate Profile
Personal Essays
Parent Statement
Current English Teacher Recommendation
Current Math Teacher Recommendation
Guidance Counselor/Principal Recommendation
School Transcript – Current & Previous Academic Year
Application Fee (Domestic Applicants: $75, International Applicants: $150)
In evaluating our candidates, we will center on students’ interviews, personal essays, co-curricular endeavors, teacher recommendations, community involvement, and transcripts.
Additional Things to Consider:
Lawrence Academy is test-optional and therefore does not require standardized testing for Domestic applicants. For applicants who do choose to take the SSAT (Secondary School Admissions Test) and would like to submit scores our code is 4552.
If applicants want to provide supplemental recommendations, these letters of recommendation may be uploaded directly to the candidate’s profile (there is no standardized format) or can be emailed to our Admissions Team (admiss@lacademy.edu).
International applicants whose first language is not English are required to demonstrate their proficiency in English by submitting TOEFL (School Code: 8021), IELTS, or Duolingo results. Please use the resources below:
"It was more authentic than the other schools I toured, and it seemed like there was a real emphasis on learning instead of superficial academic success. The teachers were genuinely dedicated to helping their students internalize information."
