Who We Serve

Families travel from all over Northeast Ohio to join a K-12 school community where learning differences are both understood and embraced. We know great minds don’t think alike!

Lawrence School’s college-preparatory curriculum is designed to empower motivated learners who are average or above in intelligence, but process information in a unique way, this includes:

• Dyslexia
  
  
• Dysgraphia
  
  
• Dyscalculia
  
  
• Specific Learning Disabilities
  A medical diagnosis is not required for admission—many Lawrence students have a public school IEP that categorizes their learning difference as a Specific Learning Disability.
  
  
• ADHD
  Inattention and executive dysfunction can stand in the way of academic success for some bright and talented learners. Our evidence-based approach not only optimizes scholastic achievement, but builds the metacognition needed to focus, plan ahead, manage time, and stay organized.

Lawrence School’s academic program does not support students whose primary educational needs are due to:

• Behavioral challenges
• Intellectual disabilities
• Emotional disturbances
• Mental health struggles, such as profound anxiety or depression
• Social communication or pragmatic language difficulties

Lawrence School welcomes students, staff, and trustees of all ages, races, colors, religions, sexes, genders, sexual orientations, disabilities, handicaps, and national/ethnic origins to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities made available at the school. Lawrence School does not discriminate in administration of its education or admission policies, hiring practices, tuition assistance, or other school-related initiatives.
