2022 Best Christian Schools in Lancaster County

Veritas Academy

• Private School
• LEOLA, PA
• PK, K-12
• Rating 4.52 out of 5  33 reviews

Alum: Veritas boasts a fantastic music program! The campus is extremely safe, as the school is built into the Leola township building, which is protected by self-locking doors and kind, attentive policemen. Academically, the classes are more challenging than most schools, but are not unnecessarily difficult for the average diligent student. Veritas is not publicly funded, and is also a younger school, founded in 1996. This limitation makes the growth of the school steady, but gradual. The school's science department, featuring Biology, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, Anatomy and Physiology, and Statistics, has seen lots of progress, but is the school's least developed area.

Lancaster Mennonite School - Lancaster Campus

• Private School
• LANCASTER, PA
• PK, 6-12
• Rating 4.19 out of 5  108 reviews

Parent: I love the aesthetic feel and architectural design of the campus. It made me feel like I was on a mini college campus. I thought, this should make the students feel at ease and comfortable in preparing them for a real college campus!

A school that puts Jesus the center of everything in my student’s life was the most important factor in choosing a private school. Lancaster Mennonite exemplifies the teachings of Jesus shown by the grace, love, and acceptance the teachers have for their students.

The school instills confidence in their students that they can be, and will become, “world changers”, by equipping them with the tools, skills, and ideals they need to succeed in an ever changing environment.

I highly recommend Lancaster Mennonite School to any parent seeking the best opportunities to equip, grow, and promote readiness and confidence in their children to be leaders in life beyond secondary school.

Lititz Christian School

• Private School
• LITITZ, PA
• PK, K-12
• Rating 4.22 out of 5  9 reviews

Alum: LCS was a good experience. It was small and homely, and students knew each other as family. My graduating class was only around 20 people. Its a nice place to obtain a private education. The only downside is there is less access to extra curricular activities and technical training.

Dayspring Christian Academy

• Private School
• MOUNTVILLE, PA
• PK, K-12
• Rating 5 out of 5  4 reviews

Parent: We started out homeschooling then switched to public school. It didn't take long for the struggles to begin - grades fell with no support in sight because my children "weren't failing" & character development wasn't even on the radar because discipline was viewed as "too negative". We switched to Dayspring & the transformation in my children is astounding. The depth of character they have, their excitement about going to school, the effort they put into their work...this doesn't scratch the surface of the growth I see in my kids. The teachers are dedicated to seeing their students succeed. This is a classical Christian education & there is a system in place for biblical worldview development, which I have not seen in any other Christian school in Lancaster. The school requires each 11th-grade student to participate in a course that walks them through deciding what profession they will choose after high school & through the college application process. Tuition assistance is available.

Mount Calvary Christian School

• Private School
• ELIZABETHTOWN, PA
• PK, K-12
• Rating 4 out of 5  14 reviews

Alum: Going to Mount Calvary provided an excellent Biblical education and an academic education. The teachers truly cared for the betterment of the student and desired to see the students succeed. The students formed intentional relationships that will last a lifetime. The main change for Mount Calvary would be the diversification of higher education for students. Only private religious colleges are noted and suggested. While these types of colleges are terrific, they are not always applicable for the students passions and finances.

Lancaster County Christian School

• Private School
• LANCASTER, PA
• PK, K-12
• Rating 4.31 out of 5  29 reviews

Alum: I loved being in a small, private school that integrated Christian teaching into every class! The teachers and staff were inspiring Christian influences in my life, and I was able to have deeper mentor-like relationships with them beyond just academics. Also, the school in general was run very well by compassionate and reasonable leaders within the administration. Having recently welcomed a new head of school I'm excited to see some of his new innovations and ideas for different parts of the school move the school forward and produce more Christ-like students.

Conestoga Christian School

• Private School
• MORGANTOWN, PA
• K-12
• Rating 4.36 out of 5  25 reviews

Parent: We love CCS! It is definitely a place where your student can grow and learn. Class sizes are small and teachers are devoted to their student's success. They are always available to students and very responsive to emails and requests for help. Grace is extended and students learn to navigate life with the support of Godly leaders, modeling Christlike character, supporting them in their individual journeys. For a small school, they offer a variety of electives and have a full sports program that our student has thoroughly enjoyed. We highly recommend CCS!

Faith Mennonite High School

• Private School
• KINZERS, PA
• 9-12
• Rating 4.33 out of 5  3 reviews

Senior: Faith Mennonite High School has been an amazing experience! It is a smaller school, around 80 students, which makes for a tighter community type school. The school is founded on Anabaptist teachings, and the passion and reverence for the school's beliefs are evident in the lives of the leaders there. At Faith, teachers care a lot for their students, not only in their academics but also in their relationship with Christ. I would reccomend Faith Mennonite High School to anyone seeking a school where they can make great long-lasting relatips, all while getting an education and growing in the Lord!

• Rating 4.5 out of 5  2 reviews

Senior: By going to Ephrata Mennonite I was challenged to find out what I believe, who I am, and what my purpose is. Also, I was in a very safe environment with very accommodating teachers and friendly safe students. Students were well supported in their needs. I felt well cared for and got the impression that my opinion mattered. Also, I was pushed to follow my dreams and be everything that I could be. They both cared for me and accepted me for who I am.
