Welcome
Thank you for your interest in Lancaster Country Day School. Your interest means a lot to us and we are excited to share what makes Country Day the right choice.
As the premier independent school in the region, Lancaster Country Day is a PS-12 college-preparatory school which promotes the academic, social, and emotional growth of each student so that they are able to reach their full potential. Our unique and innovative curriculum was developed using evidence based research to cultivate intellectual curiosity, creativity, analytical reasoning, critical thinking, and problem solving skills. Our whole child approach ensures that each student is exposed to rigorous academics while also developing artistic and athletic skills, and exploring what it means to contribute positively to society. We are proud of the diversity that makes up our student and faculty body, and we are dedicated to building an inclusive and welcoming community.
When a school combines bright students, engaged parents, and exceptional teachers who love what they do, great things happen. We encourage you to take the next step in investigating our school. Please call us for more information or to make an appointment to visit campus and see our students and faculty in action. We look forward to welcoming your family to campus soon!
