Scholastic Placement

MetroLacrosse continues to offer the Scholastic Placement Program to familiarize MetroLacrosse families with the many educational opportunities that are available through the sport of lacrosse. The program offers the opportunity to explore independent school options, as well as to learn more about navigating the transition from middle school to high school in the public school system. MetroLacrosse holds workshops and family information sessions to help parents and students navigate the public school system.

Over the past two years, MetroLacrosse successfully placed a number of students to independent schools including Baylor School, Deerfield Academy, Concord Academy, Cheshire Academy and The Westminster School.
