The Mary Francis Bachmann School will transition to our permanent home at some time during the 2024-2025 school year.  The move to the site of newly renovated School will take place during one of our quarterly breaks as to not disrupt from our learning and journey together.

After the transition to the former Dominican Monastery Site which is currently being renovated to meet the needs of our students and their families, all classes and activities will take place at the campus located at 1834 Lititz Pike.
