St. Laurence High School is a Catholic, coed high school located in Burbank, Illinois, a southwest suburb minutes outside of Chicago. Our culture of challenging the status quo has made St. Laurence a school on the rise. A shift to a project-based learning curriculum has been the cornerstone of our dynamic academic program, which has resulted in recognition at the local, national and international levels - St. Laurence was the first STEM-accredited high school in Illinois, and is currently the Chicago southland's only Catholic high school to offer an International Baccalaureate Program. While we have embraced innovation, we still maintain the strong, Catholic faith-based tradition of over 60 years as an Edmund Rice Christian Brother school.
With seven consecutive years of enrollment increases and our highest anticipated enrollment in over 25 years during the 2022-23 school year, St. Laurence is bucking the trend of Catholic education. The growth provides our students, faculty, staff, families and alumni a sense of stability, security and confidence in our future, while also allowing us to improve selectivity and ensure an increasingly excellent quality of student.
