Lawrence School is an independent, state-chartered private school catering to students with learning differences, such as dyslexia and attention deficit disorder.

Lawrence School was founded in the early 1960s as "Oldman Transitional School", took the name of "dePaul School" in 1982, and finally assumed its present name in 1993 in honor of prominent benefactor Mrs. Lawrence Jontzen.[1]
