In this period of vital growth, we support each individual student’s development toward greater independence within a collaborative learning environment.

Your donations are critical to enabling an enriched, immersive environment. They provide program enhancements that help ensure the school will continue to shine.
Staying connected to the evolving world is vital. That’s why we expose our students to international contexts, and encourage them to collaborate with their peers all around the world. They learn how to take on global challenges, and create a better future for themselves and their world.
A culture of inclusivity
EACH VOICE CONTRIBUTES TO THE CONVERSATION
Every student is an important, unique individual, bringing a valuable perspective to our inclusive learning environment. As students embrace each other’s differences, discussions are energized by the many diverse perspectives. This helps students develop confidence as they adapt to an ever-changing, increasingly diverse world.
A culture of innovation
NEW ENCOUNTERS MAKE LEARNING EXCITING
Creativity is the currency of the future, and vital to tomorrow’s leaders. That’s why we encourage our learners to find solutions to real-world challenges through creative problem solving, including rethinking, and reinventing. They learn that original thinking can create successful solutions for themselves and others.
A culture that supports the whole student
WHAT’S AROUND US REVEALS WHAT’S WITHIN US
Emotional, physical, and social wellbeing are just as important as academic success. A wide array of co-curricular activities, our deeply caring community, and an environment that engenders comfort and belonging, all help our students develop strong self-identity and a holistic good health.
Canada's first gender-inclusive independent IB World School
The York School is a gender-inclusive JK to Grade 12 independent school located in the heart of Toronto. The York School was founded in 1965 and is the first school in Canada accredited to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) from junior kindergarten (JK) to university entrance. As an IB World School, The York School's motto is Experientia Docet or Experience Teaches.
LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The land on which The York School operates is the Treaty 13 Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. These are the sacred grounds of the Anishinaabek, Wendat and Haudenosaunee peoples, past and present, and remain home to many Indigenous Nations from across Turtle Island. We are grateful to live, learn, work, and play on Tkaronto, the place in the water where the trees are standing.
Our community recognizes the traditional stewards that have cared for this land through the generations. We are committed to learning about the historical impact and hurt that colonialism and broken treaties continue to have on Indigenous peoples. It is our responsibility to honour and participate in the journey of reconciliation.
