Vaccination
The Lawrenceville School’s return-to-campus plan for fall 2021 is dependent upon all eligible individuals being fully vaccinated against COVID-19, which was the basis for our vaccine mandate that we communicated in May. The School is only granting medical and religious exemptions.
Current self-reported vaccination rates (August 2021):
- 99% of faculty
- 91% of full-time staff
- 98% of students

Weekly Test Results
Testing Strategy
Testing will be conducted twice weekly, with results expected back in 48-72 hours. The number of individuals currently in isolation is reported immediately, while the number of individuals in quarantine will be updated as contact tracing is completed. Per CDC guidelines, vaccinated community members who are identified as close contacts should self-monitor for symptoms, but do not need to quarantine.
In addition to screening testing, Lawrenceville's Health Center will continue to test any symptomatic individuals with rapid PCR machines.
- All students are required to bring proof of a negative pre-arrival PCR test, taken 3-5 days in advance of arriving to campus, to registration.
- All students and employees will undergo twice-weekly onboarding testing during Phase 0/onboarding period of 8/20-9/5. This measure will help ensure the School has reliable data regarding the presence of COVID-19 on campus prior to the start of classes. The results will help inform how we proceed in classrooms, Houses, co-curriculars, and other aspects of the Lawrenceville experience.
- All unvaccinated students and employees will continue to be tested twice-weekly through the School’s surveillance testing program.
COVID-19 Reporting: 2020 - 2021
