Admission
Start your Lawrenceville journey here!
From the Dean of Enrollment Management
At Lawrenceville, we’re not seeking perfection. During the admission process, we learn who you are, who you’re becoming, and what you need to thrive.
Lawrenceville requires deep engagement, but it’s also a place where you are seen, cared for, and encouraged. Your teachers know you – I mean, really know you … they are the same people who are coaching your team, joining you for a meal in the dining hall, and sharing moments in the common room of your House.
Our admission process is not a test - it is designed as an exploration of identity and aspiration. Finding your place, the one that feels like home, can change everything.
Edwin Núñez
The Shelby M.C. Davis '54 Dean of Enrollment Management

Inquire
To begin the admission process, please complete the inquiry form. Once completed, we will send you additional information and connect you with members of our community.
Tour the Campus
After completing the inquiry form, you’ll see Lawrenceville through the eyes of our students by joining a student-led tour. Campus tours are meant to be an introduction to our campus and community – you’ll interact with students, faculty, and administrators as they welcome you and answer your questions. You’ll watch daily life unfold across campus as you explore our Harkness classrooms, athletic facilities, performance halls, Houses, and unique community spots like the Big Red Park and the Bath House.
Individual Tours and Interviews | Fall 2026
Campus visits beginning in September are limited to prospective students and families who have submitted part 1 of the Gateway to Prep application. Families will be invited to reserve their tour and interview following their submission.
Travel and Events
Let us bring Lawrenceville to you. From hometown visits to virtual events to on-campus experiences, you’ll discover what sets Lawrenceville apart and how it might feel to be part of the Big Red community.
