How Girls Learn
The importance of an all-girls’ education
For too long, women have been told that being soft, sweet, and silent was their lot in life. York House School is committed to creating a space where every female-identifying student learns the power of their voice—and how to use it. Rather than shelter young people, our environment of respect and support empowers Yorkies to strengthen their sense of self and take on the real world with grace and grit.
York House recognizes that learning is a social exercise, and that girls flourish when they collaborate, empathize, and cooperate. That’s why Yorkies are encouraged to thoughtfully examine and challenge the status quo without judgment or interruption.
These courageous conversations uncover new perspectives and shape a deeper, shared understanding. Every member of our community benefits from the thoughtful discourse that is integral to a York House education.
