In a world where students are compelled to conform, we’re showing every Yorkie that their unique spark is their strength. As an inclusive girls school, our students take centre stage to explore, experiment, and experience. Introverts, performers, risk-takers, scholars, artists, and athletes—they all find their place here.
With an innovative approach to learning and programs, there are infinite paths to fulfillment at York House—and no wrong turns. Our advanced curriculum, based on the Reggio-Emilia approach and the B.C. Curriculum with Advanced Placement courses, is enhanced by a variety of teaching methods from our dedicated faculty. York House is a launching pad for students to pursue academic excellence and beyond. From Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12, girls find their spark through inquiry-based learning, student-led initiatives, volunteering, creating art, exploring new technologies, competing on the sports field, and embarking on trips in cities and the wilderness.
As we expand on the view of excellence in education, we continue to ground our learning journeys in the tradition of “Not for Ourselves Alone.” Our school motto continues to inspire and motivate students to look beyond their own selves in learning. We are committed to preparing our students to be active and responsible citizens who are connected and engaged with the world in positive ways.
The future might not be known, but Yorkies are bold thinkers who lean on unwavering support from teachers and friends, draw inspiration from past Yorkies, and embrace what’s next with excitement and confidence.
