The LCDS Difference

Lancaster Country Day School is a challenging place; also a friendly place. It's a school where young people discover and develop their individuality... by building close connections with their schoolmates, peers, and instructors.

Our highly qualified, talented, and committed teachers help our students develop intellectually and also emotionally - so they leave here prepared to face the challenges they'll encounter in the world around them.

Knowledge is highly valued here; so is creative expression. A wide range of options in the arts, athletics, clubs, and service opportunities help young people explore their own talents and interests. In addition, our students are strongly encouraged to get involved in their community in a variety of ways.

Our level of expectations is uncommonly high; but so is our level of support. Caring and accessible, our teachers, artists, mentors and coaches respond to our students as unique individuals. We believe that, through meaningful interaction with peers and attentive adults, young people develop analytical and creative approaches to practical problem solving - approaches that will serve them well through college and beyond.
