Lancaster Friends School is growing in both size and scope as it prepares for an exciting move to Hamilton Park United Church of Christ at 1210 Maple Avenue, in Lancaster Township. Beginning this fall, the independent Quaker school will expand its offerings to include a preschool program for ages 3 and 4, available in both half- and full-day options.

The new location, set to open for classes on August 25, 2025, will double classroom capacity, allowing enrollment to grow from 30 to 48 students. With its strong foundation in Quaker values, the school is known for its progressive education model, small class sizes, and commitment to social justice and antiracist learning.

More than 70 percent of students currently receive financial aid, thanks to generous community support. To meet growing scholarship demand, the school is actively seeking new partners. The move reflects its mission to serve a diverse student body and foster a nurturing, inclusive environment.
