Lancaster Mennonite High School

Lancaster Mennonite High School is a dynamic and diverse learning with a warm ecumenical spirit that values students from many different denominational and racial/ethnic backgrounds. The school enrolls a rich diversity of students from the greater Lancaster area and, through its Residence Hall Program, also has a rich mix of students from surrounding counties.  The school currently enrolls 65 international students and has 51 students in the residence hall.

What draws these students to Lancaster Mennonite High School? What makes it worth the tuition and, in some cases, the additional cost of the residential program?

Surveys show that Lancaster Mennonite is consistently characterized by these five words or phrases:  Christ-centered, educational excellence, faith-infused opportunities, caring community, peace and service.  

Christ-Centered
Christian teachers are at the heart of a Christ-centered school.  One of the teachers’ most important tasks is to help young people form their framework of values. Through daily chapel, scripture memorization, classroom prayer or animated discussions, teachers integrate faith and knowledge. As Jesus becomes the center of life, the world, history, creation, and all learning, students are challenged to follow Christ in all aspects of daily life.

Educational Excellence
Lancaster Mennonite is challenging and rigorous in the academic realm, offering many Advanced Placement and honors courses while embracing the whole person—intellectually, physically, socially, emotionally and spiritually.  There are also a variety of co-curricular activities such as art, music and sports that are integrated into a holistic educational package that prepares students for well-rounded lives.

Faith-infused Opportunities
These “faith-infused opportunities” provide the opportunity to connect with people and organizations that can help students reach their goals.  Lancaster Mennonite students have a chance to connect with Christian friends, teachers and leaders, and with broader Church programs and institutions, in a way that public and secular private school students cannot.

Caring Community
The above connections are part of being a member of a caring, Christian community that is also fun, hopeful and redemptive.  In Christ, teachers are brothers and sisters with their students.  The school family is committed to work together with mutual respect to resolve problems and restore relationships with grace, justice, and restorative discipline.  This is one of the biggest differences between Lancaster Mennonite and other schools.

Peace and Service
Centered in Christ and committed to educational excellence in a community setting, the school exists to transform students so they can change the world through Christlike love, peacemaking and service. Students are invited to transfer to Lancaster Mennonite at any grade level.  For information about enrollment, visit www.lancastermennonite.org or call Christy Horst, admissions counselor, at (717) 299-0436, extension 312.
