Upper School

In a warm, caring environment, our faculty supports each student as an individual, encouraging them to participate fully in our challenging, exciting curriculum, as well as to become thoughtful, active members of our vibrant school and larger community.

Our students enjoy a wide variety of curricular and extracurricular opportunities — including a number of courses designed around international travel components — as well as close mentoring and small class sizes. Along with personalized college guidance starting in their Middle School years, our students graduate well-prepared to continue their academic endeavors at colleges and universities.

Founded in 1908, Lancaster Country Day School has been providing a challenging, supportive, and joyful college preparatory education for more than 110 years.
