The New School of Lancaster

The New School of Lancaster offers an outstanding Montessori education, in a light-filled, historic space in Lancaster City. Our students range from toddlers to middle school age, coming from all parts of Lancaster County and beyond.  For over 25 years, we have filled a niche in the community for families who seek an excellent, non-denominational, educational opportunity in a child-centered, respectful, and caring environment.

We opened in September 1990 with 64 students. Today we enroll 256 students, toddlers to 8th grade. This extraordinary growth has been possible because of the enthusiasm, dedication, trust, positive attitude, and hard work of the teachers, the administration, the staff, the parents, and the Board of Trustees. Their commitment enables our growing school to flourish. We continue to serve the needs of our community, giving children the best education possible.
