Welcome!
The climate at St. Lawrence School is a warm, inviting family atmosphere with a close knit staff, involved parents, and strong school tradition and spirit. St. Lawrence School has an experienced teaching staff committed to our mission. We strive for low student/teacher ratios. We offer physical education, vocal & instrumental music, and computer teachers. If you came to our school, you would see a very caring and spiritual staff who knows each child as an individual. We have small class sizes that average about 13 students which are great for meeting each student’s unique needs. Each Pre K through 6th grade classroom has an interactive Promethean Board for teachers and students to use in the learning process. Parents are actively involved in school activities and with our School Family Organization (L.I.F.E.). We are fully accredited by the state of South Dakota.

If you would like to learn more about our
