Lawrence School is an independent school serving K-12 students with language-based learning differences (such as dyslexia) and ADD/ADHD. With its small classes, research-based curricula and personalized instruction, Lawrence provides students from over 70 communities throughout northeast Ohio with an individualized education that teaches to their distinct learning styles, ignites their potential, and inspires academic and social success.


History

Lawrence School was founded in the early 1960s as the Oldman Transitional School, and was later renamed to the dePaul School in 1982, and finally to Lawrence School in 1993 after prominent benefactor Mrs. Lawrence Jontzen.[1]

Upper & Lower School

Lawrence School has two campus locations. The Lower School campus in Broadview Heights, Ohio serves students in grades K-6, while the 47-acre Upper School campus in Sagamore Hills, Ohio serves students in grades 7-12. Both locations are central to the greater Cleveland and Akron areas.

Technology in the Classroom

Lawrence is noted for its technology program, which provides all middle school students with laptops and high school students with tablet computers. The technology program is used in different curricular aspects as well as for providing assistive technological support (such as screen reader software) for students that need it.
