Student Clubs at Lawrenceville

There are more than 80 clubs and organizations at Lawrenceville specializing in a range of interests such as writing, acting, debating, music, art, history, religion, science, photography, woodworking, and scuba diving. The school empowers students to develop and run student organizations.

The largest single student enterprise is The Periwig Club, whose productions attract more than a third of Lawrenceville's students. They flock to the Kirby Arts Center (KAC) to participate as actors, set designers, painters, carpenters, electricians, production managers, directors, publicists and business managers. During three exciting weekends during the dreary month of February, the club transforms the huge KAC main stage into an intimate 164-seat Black Box Theatre to house the ever-popular Winterfest. This engaging festival typically includes over 150 actors, singers, dancers and technicians participating in a dozen student-directed productions and a faculty-directed Second Form Shakespeare performance.

Writing opportunities abound. Students publish a weekly school newspaper, The Lawrence. It has won many national awards over the years, including the prestigious Columbia Journalism Award. The editorial staff works on Wednesday and Thursday evenings in their offices in the basement of Pop Hall. There, they get down to the business of editing the copy of student articles they have assigned earlier in the week. The newspaper more than 100 years old and enjoys its long tradition of excellence.

The Lit, founded in 1895 by Owen Johnson, who wrote the famous Lawrenceville Stories, is published three times a year. Poetry, essays, art work, and photography fill its pages. Students submit their works to the editors, who choose the best among them for publication.

The Model UN prepares position papers that represent the foreign policy of a given country. At different university sites throughout the year the club presents these papers for a U.N.-style debate with members of other schools. The club has a history of winning top honors at these debates.

The late '90s and the new decade have seen a remarkable growth in the development of international awareness and social service clubs such as Heifer International, the Environmental Club, and Amnesty International.

Students may participate in the School's Dance program and receive athletic credit from the Athletic Department in all three trimesters. In other words, students may elect to take dance in lieu of any athletic offering in order to fulfill their physical education requirement. Dance classes include ballet, jazz, modern, ballroom and hip-hop, and are offered three to five times per week depending on the students' desired involvement.

The Allegro Club is organized by music students for music students and offers them not only a place to gather informally, but also provides a focal point for them to produce and perform their own music on campus at any number of venues. They also sponsor and organize trips to events in the New York, Philadelphia and Princeton areas. The club is advised by the music faculty who help facilitate making the club's vision a reality.

Through the Outdoor Programs The Lawrenceville School offers a ropes course that allows students the opportunity to accept a challenge and work toward conquering it as a group. The School's course, designed and built by an expert in outdoor experiential education, is one of the best of its kind on the East Coast. The course is located in an extraordinary stand of tall beech trees and is designed to help students listen to each other, trust each other, and work toward a common goal.
