History

LMH sign

Based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, LM was originally founded in 1942 to give parents an alternative to public schools where students could be taught in a Christ-centered environment.

Though LM initially served mainly Mennonite students, our school eventually began serving a diverse community who appreciate an excellent education in a Christ-centered atmosphere at our school in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
