Lawrence Public Schools offer a continuum of high-quality educational services for learners of all ages, from infants to adults.

The Parents as Teachers Program, located at East Heights, 1430 Haskell Ave., serves families of children from birth to age three. Pre-kindergarten programs, serving three- and four-year-olds, are offered at Kennedy Elementary School, 1605 Davis Rd.

Fifteen elementary schools serve students in kindergarten through the sixth grade, while four junior high schools serve students in grades seven through nine. Two comprehensive high schools prepare students in grades 10-12 for post-secondary education and future careers.

The fastest-growing virtual school in the state of Kansas is the Lawrence Virtual School, serving students living anywhere in the state of Kansas in kindergarten through eighth grade. The Lawrence Virtual High School enrolls students in grades 9-12. The virtual schools and their teachers assist families in educating their children in the home using a high-quality, standards- and Web-based curriculum.

If you have an interest in adult education courses, the Adult Learning Center offers instruction in basic reading and math skills, skill development for employment, G.E.D. Preparation and Testing, and English as a Second Language Services. Adults can earn a high school diploma through the Lawrence Diploma-Completion Program, a partnership of Lawrence Public Schools and the South Central Kansas Education Service Center.

Whether your family is welcoming a new baby, enrolling a school-age child, preparing a teenager for college, seeking virtual schooling options or looking for adult classes to advance in a career, Lawrence Public Schools have an option for you.
