In-Person Instruction or Remote Access Learning With the Same Classmates
Lawrence Woodmere Academy has created an online remote learning platform that allows students to continue learning academically, while keeping the high standards of excellence for which our school is known. With our unique integrated virtual learning platform, we were able to switch from in-class to at-home instruction instantly. Our students did not miss a SINGLE DAY of school in the transition!
Fall 2020 - With our unique 6-to-1 Student to Faculty Ratio, LWA is uniquely positioned to provide unmatched value in private school education, while maintaining proper ‘social distancing’ guidelines in the classroom and on campus. Parents don’t have to choose between their child’s education and health. Students may learn in-school or at-home, and via real-time video be in the 'same classroom' learning the same material at the same time.

"I have two children there. Couldn't be happier. Great teachers, solid curriculum; child centered and they are one of only 22 schools in the US to offer a Global Studies Certificate in addition to the High School diploma--very helpful for building great citizens and for college admissions!" – maryanneamato1
