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.

Why Choose Us

Fine Arts

We value creative expression as part of the curriculum. LM provides opportunities for students to develop and nourish creativity and a deeper understanding of God and the world through visual art, drama and music.

Championship Athletics

We believe that physical movement is important to the holistic wellbeing of students. All grade levels have regular physical education classes. In addition, LM offers youth sports, competes in the Lancaster-Lebanon league, and regularly sends High School teams to play-offs.

Faith Formation

Teachers authentically integrate Christian faith into all subjects. There is a strong emphasis in the curriculum on a commitment to following the life and teachings of Jesus, including creating a culture of peacemaking, justice and service. Students engage in chapel services and daily Bible classes.

World Languages

Students at all levels have the opportunity to learn another language, develop tools for lifelong language learning, and understand and appreciate another culture to become globally competent and culturally sensitive. Starting in Kindergarten, students have the opportunity to join our Spanish Immersion track/program and become fluent in reading and writing in Spanish. In middle and high school, students can learn Spanish and German.

Outdoor Learning

Our 95-acre campus has wooded trails and the Mill Stream running through it. This unique setting provides opportunities for teachers to integrate outdoor learning into the curriculum with nature walks, identifying trees and plants, and exploring macroinvertebrates in the stream to name a few.

STEAM

We believe STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics) and design-thinking are extremely important, so that is why we make it a part of our approach at all grades PreK-12th. Our school integrates hands-on learning into our curriculum, like: robotics, coding, makerspace, gardens, and much more!
