Welcome to York!
We’re so glad you’re considering our school as you explore your educational options.
York is a school that is guided, in all that we do, by our core values of honesty, respect, responsibility, and compassion.
It is a place where, because of our intimate size, students are known deeply and valued for their individual qualities, by both the adults and the peers with whom they share our beautiful campus. We are small by design, which allows every student to be actively engaged in all aspects of school life. And it is a warm and welcoming community where students care for and support each other, developing deep and lasting relationships.
In some schools, education can seem purely transactional - an exchange of class time for the necessary credentials. Attending York, on the other hand, is transformational – It’s about more than earning grades. Students at our school shape and are shaped by their experiences, becoming, under the care and attention of their dedicated teachers, the best versions of themselves.
Since 1959, York’s exceptional academics have enabled our graduates to be accepted at the finest colleges and universities, and, just as importantly, to make the most of their opportunities once they get there. A York education sets our students on a path towards lives of purpose and consequence, as we live out our mission to “inspire and prepare a diverse community of creative, independent thinkers.”
It’s hard to convey in words what a truly unique environment awaits you at York. Check us out on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram to catch a glimpse of life on our campus. The best way to get to know us, though, is to come spend time with our remarkable students and teachers. And so, we invite you to click on this link to arrange a campus visit.
We look forward to seeing you soon and sharing the magic of the York experience!
Best wishes,
Matt Micciche
Head of School
