Diversity at York
At York School, we believe in the power of education to change lives. York students benefit from:
- individual attention
- diverse opportunities
- a culture that values learning
Since its founding more than 50 years ago, York has been a community of learners gathered around a strong set of values: honesty, respect, and responsibility.
Commitment to Diversity
York is committed to creating a diverse community of learners with varied ethnic, cultural, and socio-economic backgrounds who are interested, talented, and accomplished in a wide range of areas.
We believe that the diversity of the school community is an essential element of the York experience and that exposure to multiple perspectives is a powerful educational force that prepares students to be leaders in the global society.
This commitment to diversity is backed by a strong need-based financial aid program that awards aid to approximately 46% of our students, more than twice the national average for independent schools. No student or family should hesitate to apply for admission because of inability to pay the entire cost. York accepts students on the basis of personal and academic merit—applying for financial aid does not affect the admission decision.
We encourage you to visit the school and see for yourself how enthusiastic and talented our students and teachers are. For more information, contact Catha Smith, Director of Admission and Financial Aid at 831-372-7338 x115 or 831-422-4299 x115. Para información en español, por favor llame a Kris Edmunds al x128.
