Arts

Among the best arts programs in Manhattan

At York Prep, the arts are a vital component of our holistic approach to educating students. Our program empowers students to explore who they are, express what they feel, and think in creative ways. Whether through visual arts, music, theater, or STEAM, students are motivated to take risks, collaborate, and explore the world through diverse perspectives.

With small class sizes, each student receives the attention they need to grow as an artist and thinker. Our arts department faculty is comprised of accomplished, practicing artists and performers who create a dynamic learning environment. Students feel supported in experimenting with new forms of expression and stretching their imagination.

Beyond the classroom, students are immersed in New York City’s vibrant cultural landscape. Our proximity to institutions like Lincoln Center, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Broadway provides unique opportunities for York Prep students to experience world-class art and connect classroom learning to the wider world.

From arts electives to student-led clubs to annual performances, York Prep’s arts program helps students build confidence, develop emotional intelligence, and discover their creative powers.
