York House School

Our Senior School campus came alive with the vibrant energy of the Cultural Expo!
From mouthwatering foods and treats, traditional games, art, clothing, to rich family histories, students share their cultures in personal and meaningful ways. At this year’s Cultural Expo, Yorkies represented an incredible tapestry of cultures from around the globe: 🌍 Afghanistan • Australia • China • Egypt • Germany • Hungary • Iran • Japan • Korea • Lebanon • Nigeria • and beyond!

At York House, students put pluralism into action, sharing their cultural knowledge, celebrate their identities, and deepening our collective understanding of our diverse and interconnected world.

At York House, learning isn’t confined to the classroom—it’s deeply interconnected with the world around us. From our youngest Yorkies to our Senior School innovators, our students show up every day as scientists, designers, and changemakers.

Place-based. Hands-on. Deeply connected to the world around them. This is learning that goes beyond classroom walls, challenges the standard, and empowers our students to reshape the future. Our school isn’t just a building with classrooms—it’s a living laboratory where bold ideas take root and grow.

🏃🏾‍♀️RECORD BREAKER: Aria ‘31 Makes York House History! 🏆
Aria ‘31 has shattered a York House track and field record that stood untouched for 18 years—and she did it in a spectacular way!

Crossing the finish line at a blazing 13.10 seconds, Aria claimed first place in the girls 100m race at the ISEA Track & Field Championships by a heart-stopping .02 seconds while breaking a school record that has stood since 2008!

Now, our Junior Tigers set their sights on the BC Elementary Championships next week—and we couldn’t be more excited to cheer them on!

🎺78 of our Senior School Band and Choir students headed to beautiful Whistler for the Con Brio Music Festival and they absolutely delivered! Led by Ms. Mirtic and Ms. Ninan, Yorkies showcased their incredible talent, dedication, and artistry in multiple performances. From solo performances to adjudicator workshops to massed bands and choirs performing alongside hundreds of students, our musicians rose to every challenge with confidence, passion, and pure York House spirit. Congratulations to our concert band on receiving Gold Rating and our concert choir on their Silver Rating!

The adventure didn’t stop at the festival! Our students soaked in the breathtaking beauty of the Sea to Sky Gondola near Squamish and deepened their cultural understanding with a visit to the Squamish Lil’Wat Cultural Centre, because learning happens everywhere in every opportunity.

We are bursting with pride for every single student who performed this past weekend. You represented York House beautifully! Special thank you to our teachers who supported this trip.

☕️Hycroft Tea: A grad tradition where the past meets the future. Our Class of 2026 gathered alongside Alum parents and staff at the historic Hycroft Manor for a special afternoon tea hosted by the YHS Alum Association. In these elegant surroundings, our newest soon-to-be alums joined a generations-long legacy of Yorkies who have sat in these same seats, honoured lifelong friendships, and discovered the enduring power of the York House community.

To our Class of 2026: you are stepping into an extraordinary legacy. Welcome to the Alum family! 💚💛
