York School

Mission

We inspire and prepare a diverse community of creative, independent thinkers.

The Big Idea

At York School, we cultivate an environment where students from all backgrounds feel valued and empowered to express their unique perspectives. Our inclusive and respectful culture ensures that every student can explore their intellectual and creative potential, enriching our community and broadening their understanding of the world.

Our rigorous academic program challenges and engages students, encouraging critical and independent thinking. Through interdisciplinary courses, extracurricular activities, and hands-on learning experiences, we equip students with the tools to become innovative problem-solvers and thoughtful leaders. Our faculty nurture each student's strengths and interests, guiding them on a path of self-discovery and academic excellence.

Beyond academics, we instill values of honesty, respect, and responsibility, encouraging students to engage with their communities and address societal challenges. Through community service, leadership programs, and cultural exchanges, they gain a deeper understanding of the world and their role in it.

Our students are the key to our future!

York’s challenging coursework and collaborative environment gave me a confidence in my skill set that has transferred to every academic and professional setting I have been in since high school. I look back on the incredible teachers and the accepting and trusting community, and I now give back to York so students today can also have that unique experience.
