International Applications

Tests:
All applicants must take the Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT) to be eligible for admission to Lawrenceville. If the SSAT is not given in the applicant’s country, we will evaluate other standardized test results from the applicant’s record.

SSAT: www.ssat.org or 609 683.4440.
The Lawrenceville code: 4564
We only accept test scores directly from SSAT; we do not accept copies from your school or consultant. To prevent delays be sure to list us as a score recipient when you register for your test. We will also accept the ISEE in lieu of the SSAT.

All international applicants must demonstrate proficiency in oral and written English. For applicants whose native language is not English, and whose language of instruction for the most recent four years of schooling has not been English, the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required.

All applicants are required to have an interview at Lawrenceville. If an applicant is unable to visit Lawrenceville for an interview, you may refer to our Alumni Interviewer List. Or, contact the Admission office by emailing admissions@lawrenceville.org.

If the deadline for scheduling an interview has passed, we will waive the interview requirement. After the admission committee reviews your application, they may contact you for additional information.
