Advantage Lancaster

What if we gave the best, to those that have the least?  To answer this complex question, co-founders, Ty Bair and Shayne Meadows, established, Advantage Lancaster, a non-profit, college and career readiness program that has been empowering Lancaster’s youth in grades 6th – 12th since 2002. To prepare youth for their future learning experiences, Advantage Lancaster aims to promote healthy, productive citizens that can think critically, express their ideas eloquently, and work cooperatively in any setting.  Students will be exposed to experiential, holistic learning opportunities that will support, engage, and prepare them for post-secondary education and future careers. With over 120 years combined experience, our highly passionate educators are PA-Certified teachers in the content areas of mathematics, science, social studies, and language arts. Advantage Lancaster’s innovative three semester schedule offers youth year-round exposure to our state-of-art academic curriculum and life enrichment opportunities. This unique approach mitigates the “summer slide” and the need to relearn material after their summer break. 

Advantage Lancaster is based on five fundamental principles which are:  Education, Appreciation of the Arts, Career Exploration, Community Service, and Wellness.  Through active engagement and mentorship, students will have the opportunity to create “winning life plans.”
