Day Scholars
No matter where you live or where you go to school, the 2020-2021 school year is a new experience for all. Join the Lawrenceville Summer Scholars community to feel connected to your peers and confident and prepared to go back to school in the fall.
Day Scholars choose two classes to enjoy over the course of three weeks. Just like current Lawrenceville students, Day Scholars experience the House system and Harkness learning.
House
All Scholars will be assigned to a House and have an immediate connection to an advisor to help with the academic and social elements of the Lawrenceville Summer Scholars experience. House life helps develop communication and community skills in a single-sex, age-grouped setting. Advisory groups are led by faculty and Prefects, who are currently enrolled or recently graduated Lawrenceville students.
At first (Harkness) was kind of intimidating – I didn’t know when to talk. But by the end I was really comfortable. I felt prepared and I wasn’t scared to be at the Harkness table when my actual classes started in the fall. I could contribute right away.

Harkness
Scholars collaborate with their peers around a Harkness table to gain a deeper understanding of content and develop their own learning processes. Class discussions offer Scholars opportunities to develop skills for critical thinking and to apply those skills in a meaningful way.
