York is a small school with a distinctive campus culture, exceptional faculty, and a rigorous academic program. In the inclusive Episcopal school tradition, we recognize the dignity of all human beings and welcome our students’ diverse talents, viewpoints, and faiths. We’ve found that our small school community helps develop personal responsibility and concern for others. With 225 students in grades 8-12, the York community is small in some ways, large in others. We are large enough to provide a comprehensive academic and extra-curricular program, with wide range of courses designed to provide excellent preparation for college, and small enough to offer everyone an opportunity for personal expression through participation in clubs, drama, music, sports, student government, and social activities. Small classes bring closer contact with academic work, more chances to interact directly with faculty, and the kind of personal attention that takes students to the next level.
