York Prep Private School, New York

An education in life skills, academic achievements, and personal success begins with York Prep. For more than 40 years, this fully accredited co-educational institution has earned a reputation for excellence among New York City private schools. Maybe it’s the intimate, nurturing environment: small, 15-student classes; honors and independent-study classes; strong one-on-one academic support; ability-level groupings. Or maybe it’s the fully committed staff: varied teaching methodologies that promote learning while also making the experience fun, dedication to the larger York community, willingness to communicate with students and parents to help accomplish educational goals. Maybe it’s the great location in the Lincoln Center area of the city that places students near energetic, diverse locations such as Central Park, the Metropolitan, the Guggenheim, and the Broadway theater district. Or maybe it’s because York Prep founders Ronald and Jayme Stewart are still involved with the school and help it maintain its original commitment to creating a learning environment where excellence is rewarded and individual effort is encouraged.

Whatever the reason for York Prep’s status as a premier private high school in New York City, the school has flourished since opening its doors in 1969. Students in grades 6–12 are welcomed to reach their intellectual, social, and physical potentials at York Prep. This fully accredited, co-educational, independent preparatory school takes an uncompromising perspective toward each student’s success. The personalized attention that students receive at York Prep is unparalleled among New York private schools. At York Prep, an education is a life-changing experience. And we’re excited to help our students prepare for whatever lies ahead.
