The Londonderry School

Londonderry School is a unique non-profit elementary school located in Harrisburg, PA. Londonderry was founded in 1971 by a small group of parents and two teachers with a mission to provide a child-centered education. It now encompasses up to 200 students from preschool through 8th grade. Our chosen path is to help each child reach their full potential in a loving, safe, supportive, and fun atmosphere. The heart of Londonderry is fostering this type of environment so that each child’s social, emotional, creative, cognitive, and physical development are respected and nurtured – as well as their academic learning and curiosity. At Londonderry, children learn at their own pace and are encouraged to think logically, critically, and creatively. They learn to appreciate the unique qualities and life experiences of those around them, while also sharing their own remarkable qualities. The partnership between parents, children, and faculty fosters a child’s self esteem, independence, responsibility and a sense of belonging to a larger, diverse community and world.
