Growth - Lawrenceville Summer Scholars

Growth

Lawrenceville Summer Scholars balances class time with fun, social activities to foster community and interdependence. Scholars are encouraged to think critically, solve problems, collaborate, socialize, and explore their passions in order to leave the program with new skills and a positive outlook on learning. Classes support Scholars’ skills in a variety of ways. Scholars become more confident speakers, engage more fully in discussions, and learn how to use texts and facts to support their ideas.

Harkness Learning

The Harkness method, in which Scholars sit at an oval table along with their teacher, is designed for discussion-based learning and gives every voice weight and purpose. It's where learning is dependent on the participation and respectful consideration of every individual at the table — an exploration of diverse perspectives in pursuit of greater understanding.

My favorite part of the program has definitely been getting to know the Scholars in both the classroom and the House. It’s also fun getting a behind the scenes glimpse at all the work that goes into teaching!

House System

The House System is integral to the Lawrenceville Summer Scholars experience. Its intentional design helps Scholars learn, connect, and grow with peers and adults while taking part in fun, community-building activities to foster empathy and interpersonal skills. Scholars learn how to live with others in a collaborative community and emerge with the confidence to acclimate to new experiences.
