Residential Program

The residential program is an important part of Lancaster Mennonite School, providing a "home away from home" for many students who otherwise would not have been able to attend. The five-day program allows students to go home on weekends whereas the seven-day program is for those from more distant locations.

Approximately 60 students currently live in the residence hall. They are a diverse group of students from rural, urban and suburban parts of Pennsylvania, other states and countries. The residence hall program prepares students for success in the increasingly diverse global society of the 21st century

The residence program provides an opportunity for students to grow socially and spiritually in a community where they care for themselves and each other. Many students comment that the residence program was among the most significant parts of their education. In addition to benefiting students who participate in the residence program, the program enriches the entire school with an international perspective.

Each of the four halls has an adult serving as resident advisor.  A “dorm council” allows residential students to be part of creating a community that transforms lives.

The tuition for U.S. students using the residential program is the same as for day students. The five-day residence hall is an additional $2,645 for room and board.  The seven-day residence program is $5,650 above regular tuition.
