Lawrence Woodmere: LWA Today: November, 2009

Whether your child is in Pre-K, or completing their LWA career as a member of the Class of 2010, we can all be proud of the accomplishments of our young alumni.

All three divisions of LWA place a high priority on developing confident, independent learners with strong communication and leadership skills. Our Upper School program produces graduates who have mastered these skills and are truly prepared for college and beyond. We believe we do a better job of preparing our students and getting them into college than other schools.This doesn’t happen by accident. A comprehensive program led by the Upper School Director and Director of College Guidance has been developed to achieve these results.

Alumni Quotes

“I made the decision to seek out a place where I would always be surrounded by intelligent minds who would push me to be better and learn more. My family and I had visited a few other institutions before finding LWA. LWA had a sophisticated and competent atmosphere that other schools simply could not match. When I met and talked with some of the bright students and passionate teachers, it became clear that this was the perfect fit.”
-- Brett Woodward

“One of my favorite things about LWA is its diversity. I didn’t appreciate until I graduated how rare it is to be in an environment where such a wide variety of cultures are not only represented, but are constantly interacting. I learned so much just by being around my classmates from different backgrounds.

LWA prepared me not to fade into the background in college. It can be daunting to raise your hand in a college classroom, and it is all too easy to coast through lectures without ever speaking. The small class size at LWA both conditioned me to constantly participate in class and fostered class discussions that I now realize are very much like those I encounter in my college seminars.”
