To inspire and educate promising young people from diverse backgrounds for responsible leadership, personal fulfillment and enthusiastic participation in the world.

Lawrenceville was founded in 1810 as the Maidenhead Academy and run under such names as the Lawrenceville Classical and Commercial High School for more than 70 years. While Lawrenceville has stayed true to its history and traditions, it has also evolved to reflect changing times. In 1985 the Trustees voted to admit girls, and the first girls arrived in 1987. Less than two decades later, Elizabeth Duffy, the School's first female Head Master, came on board to lead the School into its third century. The Lawrenceville School continues to benefit from the unique experiences and perspectives of its students, faculty, staff, and alumni.
