Athletics & Wellness are at the core of our objective to support the whole student. The York School strives to build programs that promote healthy minds and bodies. Your donations play a key role in the successful development of these programs and have recently funded:

• The purchase of new, state-of-the-art equipment for the fitness centre in the Middle and Senior School
• Recruitment of professional coaches to help our student-athletes reach elite levels
• Student, faculty and staff funded professional mental health and wellness speakers

Donations enhance our Science, Technology, Engineering and Math programs by supporting students as they explore these interconnected disciplines. Your support helps our students enhance their understanding and experience practical examples of the STEM field as they explore the natural world. Recent donor-funded purchases that facilitate this learning include:

• Equipment for chemistry and biology in the Middle and Senior School
• A set of five Misty 2 Robots which allows Middle School and Senior School students to build and program higher-end robotics and AI applications
• iPads that connect with weather monitoring equipment to deepen student exploration and understanding of the environment

Our Art programs support the development of the whole student, fostering engagement with creative outlets such as music, drama, media and visual art. Your donations have elevated the student experience in these disciplines in a myriad of ways, including: 

• New Musical Instrument Digital Interface-Lab (MIDI) for the music students
• Designing and building customized art tables and display boards for the Junior School
• The purchase of a new camera and lighting equipment for our film students
