"Where a love of learning is sparked by imagination"
Learning at The New School of Lancaster is education for life.
Inspired by the vision of Dr. Maria Montessori and driven by our commitment to the whole child, The New School of Lancaster has served children and their families since 1990. Our school seeks to provide a diverse community where children can pursue the interdisciplinary achievement of academic, physical and spiritual health.
Because we believe the process of learning is joyful and satisfying, our children are trusted to take responsibility for themselves, for their own time, for the completion of tasks and for their place in our community. We believe children should be offered respect and encouragement to explore, to question, and to repeat and perfect their skills. The carefully created and beautifully maintained environment promotes freedom of movement and a developing sense of order.
"Whoever touches the life of a child touches the most sensitive point of a whole which has roots in the most distant past and climbs toward the infinite future... the vital and delicate point where all can be renewed, where all is pulsating with life...
Maria Montessori
