High School Learning Center
Located in the North Common Educational Complex, formerly the location of the old Lawrence High School, the High School Learning Center (HLC) houses the School of Exceptional Studies, the High School Learning Center and the Adult Learning Center. The program offers many options for students in grades 9-12 who are at risk of dropping out of school, provides opportunities for dual enrollment at Northern Essex Community College and also offers evening night school for students who may need a more flexible schedule.
More information about these programs can be found in the program overview (PDF).
School for Exceptional Studies
Serving children in kindergarten through age 22, the School for Exceptional Studies provides a variety of specialized programs to meet the diverse needs of students enrolled in the Lawrence Public Schools. The school's mission is to meet the significant academic, social, cognitive and linguistic challenges of our students. The entire student population requires a structured environment in order to demonstrate success. At the present time, the School for Exceptional Studies has five distinct programs for students including the Behavior/Therapeutic Learning Center (Special Needs Program), the Social Learning Center (Special Needs Program), the Therapeutic Learning Center (Special Needs Program), the Progressive Learning Center (General and Special Need Program) and the District Wide Suspension Exclusion (General and Special Education).
More information about these programs can be found in the program overview (PDF).
