Welcome to York Prep
At York Prep, we guide students to discover their unique path to academic, social, and personal success. Our holistic approach encourages students to explore what they love, develop a growth mindset, and build a strong foundation of academic skills and strategies that serve them for life.
Students are supported by a world-class team of educators, including teachers, learning specialists, counselors, coaches, and deans. With this team, students learn to navigate conflict with empathy, develop resilience, and adapt with confidence to an ever-changing environment.
Located in the heart of the Upper West Side, York Prep offers a rigorous college preparatory curriculum, with exceptional arts, robust athletics programs, and a faculty deeply committed to student growth. Here, students are empowered to look within to understand who they are, and to seek out opportunities to be thoughtful leaders, collaborative peers, and lifelong learners.

Eden M (YP ’25) is a sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania studying public health and linguistics.
“My biggest challenge was definitely the workload,” Eden says about her transition from high schol to college. “Everyday I use the ... collaboration skills I gained at York.”
What does she miss the most about YP? “The teachers [from York Prep] still continue to impact my life, learning, and interests” she said. “The supportive community from teachers and faculty is irreplaceable.”
Reflecting on her high school journey, Eden advises current YP students to keep asking questions. “Stay curious and always willing to learn something new. You might find a new hobby or career path!”
