The Lawrence School is one of the finest public schools in our country. The Lawrence School in the 21st Century is a school both proud of its past and conscious of the need to prepare students for a life of leadership, service and personal fulfilment in the future. While recognising the value of tradition it also seeks to look to the future and to instil in its pupils an independence of thought and action , a respect for creativity , and a readiness to respond to the demands of society in a rapidly changing world. Above all they are encouraged to develop their individual talents and abilities and to aspire for excellence, whether it be in the academic arena, in drama, in music, on the sports field or in any of the numerous activities which the School's matchless facilities enable us to provide. Apart from the quest for excellence, the School also tries to develop in its students an empathy for the less-privileged sections of our society and in the process turn out citizens who will genuinely care for the larger issues that confront them and the country in later life.
