Welcome to Ephrata Mennonite School. For over 60 years EMS has offered a high quality, Christian education to students in northern Lancaster County.

We teach from an Anabaptist Christian perspective but are respectful and welcoming to other faith perspectives as well. We emphasize building positive relationships between students, teachers, and peers. Developing character and a Christ-like living are an intentional focus of the school. We have high academic expectations and the school has earned accreditation through the Middle States Association of School and Colleges.

Our dedicated faculty includes twelve full-time teachers that have an average of 10 years teaching experience. In addition to the Kindergarten through 9^th grade that we have offered for many years we are in the process of adding grades 10, 11, and 12. We anticipate having our first graduating Seniors in the 2009-2010 school year.

We offer an in-house Learning Support program as well as access to services through the Lancaster-Lebanon IU 13 that include assistance in Reading, Math and Speech Therapy.

Our school community is held together by a network of caring families, volunteers, dedicated staff and a hard-working School Board. Thank you for taking a few minutes to learn more about the opportunities for your family in Ephrata Mennonite School community.
