York Prep at a Glance

Learning With Purpose

At our school, we believe every student is on a journey to discover who they are, and to make sense of the world around them. To support them on that journey, we focus on two main ways of learning, guided by four key skills that help students grow with purpose, with confidence, and with curiosity. We’re here to support them every step of the way.

Academic success

Our philosophy is that the potential for success motivates every student. Compassionate and skilled educators creatively address the individual needs and interests of the diverse student body.

For every student, we create an individualized and challenging program of study within a traditional curriculum. As a result, we nurture lifelong learners who become leaders in their fields and communities.

Location

York Preparatory School is ideally situated in New York City, the international hub for commerce, finance, media, art, research, technology, education, and entertainment. The school is located in the Upper West Side neighborhood of Manhattan, and draws students from all five boroughs—Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island—thus making it a diverse educational environment.

The school’s proximity to Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The American Museum of Natural History, and the New-York Historical Society make it a highly desirable locale. Teachers at York Prep routinely call upon such internationally recognized centers of culture and learning to augment the classroom experience.
