Lancaster Mennonite School brings out the best in students
Lancaster Mennonite School is a private school for PreK-12th grade in Lancaster, PA. We provide a Christ-centered education in a caring community that nurtures students to become creative and innovative learners. In addition, we offer students a high-quality, holistic education with dedicated teachers that prepare them to flourish now and in the future in college, career and life.
“When we considered education options for our boys, we knew that we wanted a Christian school that would support their faith formation, but we were not willing to settle for subpar academics. At Lancaster Mennonite we have found rigorous academics, incredible teachers, and a diverse school community. Our students are more than prepared for college, both academically and emotionally. Lancaster Mennonite will continue to have our support!”
— Scott & Brenda Z., Parents of LM Students
