School Notes

  • Spanning two campuses, New School Montessori offers a non-denominational Montessori education in a respectful, and caring environment. Our Lancaster City Campus is located in a light-filled, historic space in Lancaster City. Our students range from toddlers to middle school age, coming from all parts of Lancaster County and beyond. Students enjoy our natural playground which was specifically designed to mimic nature. Close to home, our brand newManheim Township Campusis situated on the spacious grounds of St. Thomas`s Episcopal Church. Our students range from ages birth to kindergarten and enjoy the quiet setting with scenic views and an abundance of playspace.
  • For over 30 years, we have filled a niche in the community for families who seek an excellent, non-denominational, educational opportunity in a child-centered, nurturing environment. We opened in September 1990 with 64 students. Today we enroll over 227 students, infants through 8th grade, across two campuses. This extraordinary growth has been possible because of the enthusiasm, dedication, trust, positive attitude, and hard work ofthe faculty and staff,parents, andthe Board of Trustees. Their ongoing commitment enables our school to flourish. We continue to serve the needs of our community, enabling our students access to Montessori excellence.
