The House System
Lawrenceville campus Houses are at the center of everyday life. They bring students together, foster community, and promote the type of leadership, inclusion, and cooperation that can reach new heights outside of a classroom. And with faculty members serving as House administrators, Houses become a warm and supportive living environment where discovery and creativity can flourish.
No matter if you’re a day student or boarder, your assigned House will become the home base for downtime, study, and camaraderie.
