The goal of the College Counseling Office is to support, inform, and encourage students and their families as they navigate the exciting, complex, and ever-changing process of college admissions.
Over the course of their Lawrenceville careers, families and students receive information through grade-specific newsletters, class-wide meetings, Parent Weekend programming, publications such as college counseling guides, and other communications designed to maximize a student’s Lawrenceville experience.
