Messiah University signs multi-year partnership with Lititz Christian School

Messiah University and Lititz Christian School (LCS) recently signed a multi-year agreement, as part of the University’s Pathway Partners Program, to advance the mission of both institutions. The partnership will support quality, Christ-centered education in central Pennsylvania, and will include components such as training, development and continuing education of LCS teachers; dual enrollment discounts for LCS students enrolling at Messiah; special admissions-focused events; scholarships for LCS students who attend Messiah as a traditional residential undergraduate student; graduate degree discounts; among other benefits.

“Messiah University is excited to add this school to our growing list of Pathway Partner Schools,” said Dr. Rob Pepper, Messiah University’s executive director and assistant to the president for innovation and university partnerships. “Lititz Christian graduates have flourished at Messiah. Our hope is to build on the existing relationship that we have with this community. We are particularly excited to work with this school as it is within an hour’s drive from Messiah’s campus, as its close proximity to the Messiah’s campus means that we will be able to provide mutual support for this likeminded Christ-centered educational institution.”

“At Lititz Christian, we believe in the transformative power of partnership and are excited about this opportunity to partner with Messiah University,” said Allyson Harman, head of school. “This partnership will expand our dual credit opportunities and provide a generous tuition discount to our alumni, faculty and parents. We are grateful for this collaboration and for Messiah’s shared commitment to faith-based education.”
