Our faculty provides mentorship and guidance to help students discover and develop their intellectual interests, think critically and creatively about the world around them, and embrace the challenges and opportunities before them.
From classroom learning and academic advisement, to athletic coaching and co-curriculars, to House life and hallway hellos, our talented and experienced faculty support students throughout each day. Often taking on many roles, they take pride in being a resource for each and every Lawrentian.
A strong campus community embraces all of our faculty members, many of whom live on campus and serve on House Duty Teams - spending time with and providing support for students in the evenings. The immersive, supportive, focused framework of a day on campus clears a path for collaborative thinking, professional development, and strong empathetic relationships built on trust, common experiences, and teamwork.
We’re always looking for the best young teachers and the mid- and late-career experts who can bring a diverse and ever-evolving perspective to the community. Each year, the School engages Teaching Fellows enrolled in the University of Pennsylvania’s Boarding School Teacher Residency program, in which they work toward a master’s degree in education. Teaching Fellows teach in an academic department, live on campus, and fully participate in the residential and co-curricular life of the School. By doing so, they not only bring their fresh perspective to the Lawrenceville experience, they also learn from our experienced teaching and subject-matter experts.
Academic Advising and Support
Our academic advising structure, peer tutoring, and learning support for qualified individuals encourages students to self-advocate and seek help when they need it.
