Lawrence Woodmere Academy is a premier college preparatory school for students, families and educators who embrace quality education with shared priorities, passions and commitment in an environment that values wisdom and nurtures personal, community and global responsibility.

Lawrence Woodmere Academy is located just 17 miles from Pennsylvania Station and only a few miles from the Queens County line on the South Shore of Long Island. The beautiful 7-acre campus features two outdoor soccer fields, a baseball field, outdoor tennis courts, two playgrounds, and a swimming pool used for our summer program.

The indoor facilities, all of which are connected, feature a historical main building, dedicated in 1921, a large gymnasium, a modern library/technology center, an historic auditorium known as Hessel Hall which was originally built in 1929 and refurbished several years ago. With over 30 classrooms, Lawrence Woodmere Academy features interactive white board technology in most every teaching space in a wireless environment.
