We’re building on purpose.

Buildings and facilities have the ability to inspire, serving as one piece of the motivation that propels each of us forward to become who we are meant to be. Founded on the grounds of the historic Dominican Monastery just outside of Lancaster City, the Mary Francis Bachmann School has been designed to unleash dreams and possibility. Construction is advancing and the beautiful new campus is set to be unveiled for the 2024-2025 school year.

OUR PURPOSE

Unfold the mystery of self, the power of community, and the possibility for us all.

Education is about more than students and teachers. It’s about opening our eyes to possibility in ourselves, in each other and in our communities. At the Mary Francis Bachmann School our approach to learning challenges each of our students, our families, our partners and our faculty to grow; to imagine; to create and to dream of the world that is possible for each of us both individually and together.
