About
STUDENT SERVICES: RECOGNIZING THE BENEFITS OF A MORE ACTIVE, COLLABORATIVE KIND OF LEARNING, IN THE SUMMER OF 1936 EDUCATIONAL PHILANTHROPIST EDWARD S. HARKNESS HELPED LAWRENCEVILLE TO RECONFIGURE THE SCHOOL'S CLASSROOMS AROUND CONFERENCE TABLES THAT REPLACED LECTURE AND MEMORIZATION WITH SHARED DISCOVERY.SINCE THEN, WHATEVER TOOLS AND METHODS LAWRENCEVILLE HAS ADOPTED FROM SCIENCE LABS TO LANGUAGE LABS, FROM DISCUSSION BOARDS TO SMARTBOARDS, HAVE BEEN AIMED AT GETTING STUDENTS TO LEARN AND THINK FOR THEMSELVES, THEN TO SUBJECT PRELIMINARY UNDERSTANDINGS TO CRITICAL REVIEW. SEE SCHEDULE O FOR CONTINUATION.LAWRENCEVILLE'S EDUCATIONAL FOCUS, THEN, IS NOT ON TEACHING WHAT TO KNOW BUT ON LEARNING HOW TO THINK. AND THE KEY TO SUCCESS IS EVERY LAWRENTIAN'S COMMITMENT TO APPROACHING THE WORK OF SCHOOL WITH AN ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT. AN ASSIGNMENT OR CLASS ISN'T JUST SOMETHING TO GET THROUGH; IT IS SOMETHING TO GET INTO, AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN. HOW? TAKE AN INTEREST. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. TAKE PART.A HALLMARK OF A LAWRENCEVILLE EDUCATION IS THE CLOSE FACULTY-STUDENT INTERACTIONS AND DEEP INTELLECTUAL ENGAGEMENT. LAWRENCEVILLE FACULTY MEMBERS ARE EXPERT IN THEIR DISCIPLINES AND TRANSLATE THAT EXPERTISE INTO RICH LEARNING EXPERIENCES FOR THEIR STUDENTS. THEY WORK CLOSELY WITH STUDENTS TO HELP THEM DISCOVER AND DEVELOP THEIR INTELLECTUAL PASSIONS AND THINK CRITICALLY AND CREATIVELY ABOUT THE WORLD AROUND THEM AND ABOUT THE CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES BEFORE THEM.ACADEMIC ADVISOR FACULTY MEMBERS ASSOCIATED WITH OR LIVING IN THE HOUSE HELP STUDENTS CHOOSE THEIR COURSE LOAD. THESE CONSULTATIONS FOCUS ON THE OVERALL DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY OF THE SCHEDULE, CONCERNS ABOUT ADJUSTING TO THE RIGORS OF THE SCHOOL'S CURRICULUM, AND COMMITMENTS TO ATHLETIC OR EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES. IN ADDITION TO TRADITIONAL ACADEMIC COURSES, LAWRENCEVILLE STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO MEET OTHER IMPORTANT EDUCATIONAL OBLIGATIONS, INCLUDING COMMUNITY SERVICE, HUMANITIES, AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT SEMINARS.
