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. These applications are:

• 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)

Testing is optional. For 9th and 10th grade applicants, the Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT) school code is 4552. If you're applying for grades 11, and 12, we encourage you to submit PSAT, SAT, or ACT results.

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).

If applicants are interested in taking advantage of our Learning Support program, we require that they submit most recent comprehensive educational or psychoeducational evaluations via email to admiss@lacademy.edu for review by our Admissions and Learning Support teams.

At LA, we want all our students to be set up for success. All applicants for whom English is not their first language are expected to be able to speak, read, and understand English at an advanced level to attend Lawrence Academy. Lawrence Academy does not offer English as a Second Language (ESL) programming.

As such, international applicants whose first language is not English are required to demonstrate their English proficiency by submitting TOEFL (school code 8021), IELTS, or Duolingo results upon applying to Lawrence Academy.

Lastly, students who reside and attend school in China are required to complete an initial interview via the Vericant platform by January 1. Following our admissions office’s review of the Vericant interviews, we will select and notify students and families who will be invited to move forward with the admissions process at Lawrence Academy. Please wait for us to contact you following submission of your Vericant interview and writing sample before scheduling an interview with Lawrence Academy. Finally, please note that the Vericant fee is separate from the Lawrence Academy application fee.
