Student Life

The life of a student at St. Lawrence Seminary School cultivates the values of spirituality, social skills, knowledge, diversity, humble commitment and a safe community.

Life at St. Lawrence Seminary School is more than just an education. Students can choose from over 20 clubs and athletic programs to enrich their time. Your son will also be a part of our one-of-a-kind Spiritual Direction program which helps students deepen their Catholic faith and give back to the community.

St. Lawrence prepares your son for college and beyond. Our students know more than just how to pass a standardized test – our college prep school courses ensure that our students truly understand what they’re learning and how it applies to the real world.
