Post-Secondary Pathways
Personalized support for education after high school
At York House, the journey to post-secondary is about you. Our admissions advisory program guides each student to follow their unique spark in order to choose the right schools, pathways and areas of focus. As you forge your path, you’ll gain essential accountability, decision-making, and communication skills you’ll use long after your application is accepted.
Where Are York House Graduates Now?
From Architecture to Law to Engineering to Fashion, Yorkies have gone on to pursue higher education that aligns with their goals, needs, and interests. 100% of our graduates receive offers of admission at post-secondary institutions in Canada and across the world. They have been recipients of major entrance scholarships as well as national scholarships such as the Loran Award, the Schulich Leader Scholarship, and the TD Scholarship for Community Leadership.
Some Yorkies also pursue work, athletic, and volunteering experiences in their gap year before entering their post-secondary studies.
York House alums often tell us they feel prepared and excited for their first year. We’re incredibly proud of every Yorkie, and love hearing their stories as they continue their education or launch their careers.
How We’ll Prepare Together
Our comprehensive post-secondary advising program provides students and families with the tools and guidance to make informed decisions about the future. We have deep connections and experience with the post-secondary community, and our advisors will work with you on everything from course planning and career options to navigating the application process and scholarships.
Students have access to a dedicated resource centre, visit with post-secondary liaisons, prep for admissions testing and interviews, and sit down one-on-one with post-secondary counsellors. School representatives are invited to speak with you about the transition, and your fellow alums often return to share their firsthand insights.
As you close your chapter at York House, you’ll have our post-secondary advisors by your side—and the confidence to embrace the next chapter with grace and grit.
Start Early With Advanced Placement
Prepare for the tempo of post-secondary curriculum and stand out from other applicants. The Senior School at York House offers Advanced Placement (AP) classes in a range of subjects, bridging the gap in the transition from secondary school to higher education.
Launch Your Future With Career-Life Connections
Career-Life Connections (CLC) courses at York House put you even closer to your dream job. You’ll “learn by doing” in this program, gaining critical personal development and capacity-building skills. In Grade 11, students participate in a Work-integrated Learning program (WIL), gaining real-world work experience through mentors and role models from our alum network and community partnerships.
Everything comes together in the self-directed YHS Capstone project—guided by a Capstone advisor and external mentor, you’ll deep-dive into your interests and explore how they may apply to your future career choices.
