Transformational Program Promise
York House School is redefining academic success.
It is no longer confined to conventional metrics; instead, it requires creativity and the ability to innovate and interconnect ideas in ways that transcend traditional subject areas.
We value diverse student voices and experiences, and provide opportunities for students to have agency over their own learning. We cultivate brave spaces that invite discourse and encourage a plurality of thought.
This provokes deeper conversations, broadens perspectives and fosters an authentic culture of community and belonging.
Our educators challenge the traditional notion of the physical classroom, believing relevant and meaningful learning must also take place with field experts in the wider community. Faculty use a variety of methodologies depending on the learning outcome.
At any given time, you may see design thinking, project-based learning, inquiry, discussion tables, direct instruction, and principles of the Reggio Emilia Approach.
Dynamic Education Experience
Engaging with current issues and projects that extend beyond textbooks and static learning, we create a dynamic educational experience that reflects the interconnectedness of our world.
Empowered to be leaders and game-changers, our students live up to our motto, Not for Ourselves Alone. Equipped with self-awareness, agency, collaboration, curiosity, empathy and resilience, our students gain the essential skills to navigate the complexities of modern life with confidence.
There may not be much we can predict about the world our graduates will enter, but we are wholly confident they will be ready whatever comes their way.
