I am no longer a struggling, misunderstood adolescent with a learning difference trying to get through burdensome summer reading assignments in high school or literature classes in college. Now I am the struggling, misunderstood geriatric Head of a school for students with learning differences, and this time, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was an altogether different, glorious, deeply touching, outrageously funny, and fundamentally unsettling experience.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lawrenceschool.wordpress.com&amp;blog=8963063&amp;post=158&amp;subd=lawrenceschool&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

We are a place where talents and gifts can be encouraged and surfaced; where students and teachers feel connected and invested in one another; where there is a strong community focused on teaching and learning; where students are accepted for who they are; where strengths, affinities and challenges are affirmed; and where students are simultaneously held accountable and supported to do their best.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lawrenceschool.wordpress.com&amp;blog=8963063&amp;post=148&amp;subd=lawrenceschool&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

These traditions mark the finish of one part of a young person’s journey through the educational system we call school, and we hope will mark their commencement—the next phase of that journey to adulthood, self actualization, fulfillment and contribution to our communities, our democratic society, and the marketplace.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lawrenceschool.wordpress.com&amp;blog=8963063&amp;post=112&amp;subd=lawrenceschool&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
