Lawrenceville School, Private boarding school in Lawrenceville, United States
Lawrenceville School is a private boarding school in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, set across a large campus that features Queen Anne style buildings with red brick and tall turrets. The campus combines academic facilities with sports fields, residential houses, and a working farm managed by students.
The institution began in the early 19th century as a small academy founded by a Presbyterian minister. The current name came after several decades through a foundation that wanted to expand the boarding school.
The learning method uses oval tables where everyone can see each other and discuss together instead of just listening to lectures. This approach turns classrooms into places where everyone speaks and shares their thoughts.
The campus sits near a small town in New Jersey and offers visitors access to the historic buildings during certain times of the year. The grounds can be explored on foot, with clear paths connecting the older buildings and newer facilities.
The school operates a small farm with greenhouses where young people learn how vegetables grow and how ecological agriculture works. This place connects practical work with science lessons and shows how food moves from field to plate.
