Donate to York House School
Our community is our strength. Every donation, no matter the size, directly impacts the learning and growth of our students.
Your participation in the Annual Giving Campaign positively impacts the learning experiences for all of our students. Each year, donations enable transformational programming and learning opportunities that prepare students to thrive in an ever-changing world. We welcome donations of any size from our YHS families, alums, faculty, and staff. Click here for our current Annual Giving fundraising priorities for programming and experiences which are informed by the Spark Plan and emerging needs.
An important area the Campaign supports is our Financial Aid & Scholarships program. Reflecting our motto, Not for Ourselves Alone, donations directed to the YHS Foundation provide life-changing opportunities so talented and deserving students can access YHS without barriers. Financial Aid provides partial to full tuition and can help cover students' expenses related to curricular, co-curricular, school activities, and excursions.
