Why Choose LCDS

All aspects of our school—from open lockers to mentoring programs—have been put in place to create a warm environment of mutual trust and responsibility. Positive peer influences and high expectations help our students learn important life lessons that they carry well beyond the classroom.

We believe good grades are just the beginning.

While we value academic success, we understand it as a means to an end. Our goal is to give each student an education to maximize the freedom to pursue personal goals. 100% of our graduates go to college. But more importantly, they go to the colleges that are right for them.

We keep our students engaged in their education.

We take a personal interest in educating each child. Our uncommonly low 8:1 student/teacher ratio ensures that every young person gets lots of attention. And in our intimate class settings, diverse learning styles become assets rather than obstacles.

We put lessons in real-life context.

Students at Lancaster Country Day School get involved in everything from athletics to the arts to the surrounding community. By engaging our students in opportunities outside the classroom, we help them connect their education to the real-world.

We learn from each other.

From preschool to twelfth grade, our students are together under one roof. This unique environment allows our students to see themselves as important members of a larger group.
