Talk to a Lawrenceville Tour Guide

@mjane111213

  1. If you mean open houses as in tours of campus, Lawrenceville certainly does. Check the admission tab under Lawrenceville's websites for directions to schedule a tour.
  2. I truly can't give a good answer for this question. As a prep school, Lawrenceville will obviously be more rigorous and challenging than a normal public high school. However, the workload is definitely manageable- It really depends on the student.
  3. Students can go to NYC on weekends with the permission of their housemasters and parents. Students do not need parental permission to go to Princeton/local malls (but they still need housemaster permission).
  4. Check out the Lawrenceville admissions tab on the Lawrenceville website. I also don't know what you need to get in- look at other threads on this site for that.
  5. There are always social events on the weekend. Lights out/wifi shutoff is 11:15 for juniors and sophomores, and there is no lights out for seniors. Friend groups are what you'd expect at a high school.
  6. I can't really speak about the soccer team, but I was on the track team. Practice is everyday from 3:30-5 or 5:30. Our boys track team has been undefeated in dual meets for the past 5 years, so there is a history of excellence.

@iAmMe77 Thank you so much! I have two more questions, sorry!!

  1. How does it compare to other boarding schools such as Hotchkiss, Taft, Choate, Andover, etc.?
  2. And if you are on a varsity team at your present school, would that impact your application?
