Montessori Academy of Lancaster

The Montessori Academy was founded in 1982. Our current school facility was built in 1998 and was designed specifically for Montessori classroom needs. The Academy offers a nurturing and secure environment (in Manheim Township) on 10.5 acres of land. We have student-tended gardens and nature trails and are surrounded by farm life. We also have a beautiful outdoor playground area designed with safety in mind for the children, which includes several playhouses with various slides and interconnected swings.

Are you looking for a safe, caring, hands-on learning environment for your children? While the Montessori approach has been around for over 100 years, our programs have blended the best of traditional Montessori, with innovative learning practices. It only takes a few minutes on our sprawling campus to realize that we have something special! After a brief tour of our toddler, pre-school, and elementary classrooms, you can see the joy the children have in learning through peace education, concrete materials, collaborative age groups, and self-directed learning.

We are fortunate to have 10 acres of outdoor recreational space, plus a new, state-of-the-art, 6,000 square foot multi-purpose room, plus several thousand square feet of indoor classroom and learning spaces.
