Admission : 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.

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.

TOEFL: www.ets.org or 609 771.7100. The Lawrenceville code: 9153

Interview:
All applicants are required to have an interview at Lawrenceville. If an applicant is unable to visit Lawrenceville for an interview, the Admission Office will attempt to arrange one with a Lawrenceville alumnus in or near the applicant’s town if the request is made before December 1st.

Application:
File the Application On-line using SSAT’s common application. Lawrenceville now uses the SSAT common on-line application. This is the only official Lawrenceville application.

An option to complete the Lawrenceville Supplement will occur when a candidate selects Lawrenceville (school code 4564). Please follow all directions for completing the SSAT common on-line application.

The School does not offer a formal ESL program; however, academic support is available for international students on a limited basis.
