Leadership skills are woven into all aspects of student life from JK to Grade 12. York School students have many opportunities to assume authentic leadership roles and have an active voice in the life of our community.

Being involved in student leadership helps students develop integral skills in collaboration, decision-making, advocacy, communication and project management while creating initiatives that support a dynamic, engaging and inclusive school culture..
